API Management Part 1 - An Introduction to Azure API ManagementBizTalk360
Building APIs is not just about technology. APIs enable many new business opportunities, but only if done correctly. Enter API Management platforms to provide the building blocks behind a successful API program. As a result of lucrative opportunities, many Software vendors have emerged or pivoted from their SOA management roots to provide API Management capabilities.
In this session, Kent will introduce you to Microsoft’s Azure API Management platform by providing an overview that highlights its capabilities and the opportunities that emerge for organizations. As part of this presentation, Kent will demonstrate how developers can create their first API and discuss strategies for transforming existing services to leverage Azure API Management.
This presentation will consist of general guidance on API Management, an Azure API Management portal walk-through and demos that re-enforce the concepts that were introduced.

Take Control of your APIs in a Microservice Architecture3scale
Microservices are a new architectural approach to modularize systems into smaller units. The benefits include that services can be adapted more rapidly to changing business demands. Application programming interfaces (APIs) are crucial in every microservice architecture (MSA) as they link up the various microservices. Key challenges of MSA are getting API security, access control and analytics right in an environment that is constantly changing. This workshop talk will show how the features of the 3scale API management platforms in combination with the Red Hat OpenShift PaaS can be leveraged to overcome these challenges.
Entering the Platform Age: How to create genuine value for internal and exter...3scale
Keynote at APIDays Melbourne 2016, Steven Willmott - 3scale.
Organizations have recognized that making available IT systems as APIs for both internal and external developers can create huge new opportunities for agility, products and ultimately revenue. However, while this "platform thinking" holds great potential, it can be extremely challenging to determine how to deliver on these opportunities. In this talk we'll look at how focusing on the value APIs can deliver helps underpin genuine success for an API program and an organization's platform initiatives as a whole.

CloudExpo Europe Keynote - June 22, 2010
The second day of the CloudExpo Europe that was taking place in Prague the 21st and 22nd of June, Steven Willmott, the CEO of 3scale, made a presentation on APIs and their importance for Cloud Computing.
The key highlights of this presentation are:
1. Cloud Computing pushes to the “hyper integration” of the Web and the enabling of key platform to emerge (e.g. the new SkypeKit)…. But not only for computing power
2. Cloud Computing and its different elements fit into an MVC “Cloud Edition” framework thanks to APIs
3. APIs enable Cloud Scale MVC
4. You need to become indispensable in the Value Chain otherwise someone may eat your lunch
5. APIs are key to become indispensable but need to be managed

Open API and API Management - Introduction and Comparison of Products: TIBCO ...Kai Wähner
In October 2014, I had a talk at Jazoon in Zurich, Switzerland: "A New Front for SOA: Open API and API Management as Game Changer"
Open API represent the leading edge of a new business model, providing innovative ways for companies to expand brand value and routes to market, and create new value chains for intellectual property. In the past, SOA strategies mostly targeted internal users. Open APIs target mostly external partners.
This session introduces the concepts of Open API, its challenges and opportunities. API Management will become important in many areas, no matter if business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-customer (B2C) communication. Several real world use cases will discuss how to gain leverage due to API Management. The end of the session shows and compares API management products from different vendors such as TIBCO API Exchange, IBM, Apigee, 3scale, WSO2, MuleSoft, Mashery, Layer 7, Vordel

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
