Design and Build Great Web APIs

APIs are transforming the business world at an increasing pace. In order to take advantage of this wave, your organization needs the essential skills to quickly and consistently design, build, and deploy quality web APIs that are robust, reliable, and resilient.

Creating a single API is not enough, you also need to create a repeatable, teachable, and trackable process that allows teams to go from an initial API modeling and design process through API sketching, prototyping and implementation through testing, securing and deploying

Based on the upcoming book "Design and Build Great Web APIs" from Pragmatic Publishers, this talk covers a proven pattern that you can use to unlock hidden business value and produce stable and scalable web APIs that meet customer needs and solve important business problems in a consistent and reliable manner.

Here’s a list of references I mentioned in the talk
