Practical API Design

Practical API Design

Explore practical API design techniques in this conference talk from GOTO Amsterdam 2019. Learn how to create high-value APIs by focusing on three key factors: number of clients, client changeability, and complexity. Discover specific steps to design effective APIs on a tight schedule, including setting appropriate design goals, iterative sketching and prototyping, heuristic evaluation, code writing, participatory design, and choosing the right style. Gain insights into making practical design decisions that enhance developer experience (DX) and maximize the return on investment for your API design efforts.
