DESCRIPTION:Presented by John Musser (ProgrammableWeb). If open APIs and open data are the new open source, then what makes a good API into a gr eat API? This session is a deep-dive on helping you build better APIs. A nd designing an open API is a lot harder than it looks: protocols, data formats, optimizations, security, abstractions, and more. This session draws on our experience at ProgrammableWeb where we've looked at over 5, 000 different open APIs.
