Presentation: "How to design a Web API that's worth its name"

Time: Monday 15:15 - 16:00

Location: To be announced

Abstract: Every public website these days needs to expose its capabilities via an application programming interface (API) so that others can include them in their solutions, in a true Web 2.0 kind of way. In this session, we'll explore how to build an API that doesn't suck, based on REST and Atom/AtomPub.
Keywords: Web 2.0, REST, API
