In this video, recorded at the February 2015 API360 Summit in Dallas, Texas, Mike Amundsen discusses the true value of data, explains why usability is crucial to the success of open API programs and explores ways API providers can make their data usable to developers.
Creating a well-rounded API program requires coordination between stakeholders with different frames of reference The API Academy is committed to promoting a 360-degree approach to APIs – one that encompasses business strategy, interface design and long-term management. This approach doesn’t simply reflect the interests of the Academy’s experts or the range of services they offer. The fact […]

Practical problems that software architects on modern product teams face increasingly go far beyond the familiar. Case in point: “Big Data” doesn’t just mean petabytes of data or a data-set that doesn’t fit in a single large RDBMS, anymore. A “distributed system” doesn’t just mean a clever multi-tier architecture or even an AWS deployment happily […]
In my last post, I talked about IoT and its nascent emergence into our everyday lives, with products like Anki Drive and the Nest Thermostat beginning to get a foothold. I also talked about the need for security, as IoT becomes more present in our day-to-day lives. Today, let’s talk about a few real-world examples […]
A quick intro: I work in product marketing for CA and I was recently elected to write a regular blog about the business of APIs. I’ve been around the block over the years – a coder, an engineer… I even wrote a BBS once upon a time (yes, I’m pre-Web, truly a dinosaur – roar!) But now […]
