We're mostly building web applications these days. Even standalone apps have their UI layer written as a single page app in JS and communicate with their backend using REST. Let's explore the process of designing the REST API for such an app.
Joint conferences API Days and API Strategy & Practice took place during the last weekend in Berlin. We’ve had the pleasure of spending great time with the people at the epicenter of the exploding API ecosystem. Read to learn what are the hot topics and possible implications for your apps.
