Kin Lane is coming to talk about API design. He is from out of town and will be in the area only for a limited time so we had to move the meeting date. Hope you can still make it. Monday August 13th 6pm-8:30pm 6:30 - 8:30 API Design Speaker Bio: I am a technology professional with an obsession for Application Programming Interfaces or APIs.I am a unique blend of a IT, data, programming, product development, business development and online and social media marketing skills. I thrive on taking ideas and turning them in to web applications, with a focus on distributed programming using Application Programming Interfaces (API). From social applications, cloud computing to mobile applications, APIs are the driving heartbeat. I focus on the Business of APis, taking my understanding of the technical side of APIs and working to better understand what is necessary to be successful in this new API driven marketplace. You can follow my personal blog at kinlane.com, find my business of APIs research at apievangelist.com, my politics of APIs research at apivoice.com, and I try to contribute to ProgrammableWeb as often as I can. Abstract Don’t Forget About the Business of APIsAs the number of APIs grow, and with APIs being very technical it’s easy to forget about some of the business building blocks that can make your API successful.While your API might make sense to your development team, not all developers think alike. Making the onboarding process for your developers as friction-less as possible is the ultimate goal, and there are proven set of business building blocks that major public APIs like Twitter, Google and Twilio have used with successMake sure your API doesn’t just speak geek. Do you have the right documentation, code samples and other critical building blocks you will need to make sure your public, partner or private API will be successful?
