join me for Tech-Talk Tuesday

2012-06-21 @ 11:34#

every two weeks, Layer 7 provides an informal online meet-up called Tech-Talk Tuesdays for developers and product managers interested in all things API. as Layer 7's newly minted API Architiect, i have the pleasure to join Matt McClarty for the June 26th event.

this is not a lecture or taped presentation; it's a real-time interactive convo between Matt and myself and everyone who joins in the event.

June 26 - Designing Flexible APIs

this coming Tuesday the topic is "Designing Flexible APIs" and below are my suggested topics for the session:

  • Employing the USE methodology for your API (Usable, Scalable, Evolvable)
  • When (and when NOT) to version your HTTP API
  • Supporting multiple formats for your API (XML, JSON, etc.)
  • Designing the Message format (not the URI format) for your HTTP API
  • Planning for Re-usability for your HTTP API
  • The Power of Hypermedia as a design element for your HTTP API

hopefully, these topics pique your interest and you'll tune and join us. you can post questions, comments, suggestions for additional topics, etc. using:

NOTE
the session will be recorded so, even if you can't make it, you can send in your questions/comments ahead of time and check the playback once it's posted.

i'm looking forward to a lively convo and a chance to meet you next Tuesday.
