Well-designed APIs feel like a natural extension of the application, rather than just a new interface into the backend database. Designing Web APIs based on use cases allows an organization to develop irresistible APIs, which developers can consume easily and which support the business values of that organization. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePurchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Technology\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt takes a village to deliver an irresistible web API. Business stakeholders look for an API that works side-by-side with the main product to enhance the experience for customers. Project managers require easy integration with other products or ways for customers to interact with your system. And, developers need APIs to consistently interoperate with external systems. The trick is getting the whole village together. This book shows you how. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIrresistible APIs\u003c\/i\u003epresents a process to create APIs that succeed for all members of the team. In it, you'll learn how to capture an application's core business value and extend it with an API that will delight the developers who use it. Thinking about APIs from the business point of view, while also considering the end-user experience, encourages you to explore both sides of the design process and learn some successful biz-to-dev communication patterns. Along the way, you'll start to view your APIs as part of your product's core value instead of just an add-on. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign-driven development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping meaningful use cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPI guiding principles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to recognize successful APIs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Reader\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten for all members of an API design team, regardless of technical level. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirsten Hunter\u003c\/b\u003e is an API evangelist who helps developers and business stakeholders understand, design, and deliver amazing APIs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003eUNDERSTANDING WEB APIs\u003cli\u003eWhat makes an API irresistible?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking with web APIs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPI First\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb services explained\u003c\/li\u003eDESIGNING WEB APIs\u003cli\u003eGuiding principles for API design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefining the value for your API\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating your schema model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign-driven development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpowering your developers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirsten Hunter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1617292559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617292552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manning Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Kirsten Hunter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979396481279,"sku":"9781617292552","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_babafd5a-bf6e-4c3b-be55-55df9f404334.jpg?v=1683245315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/irresistible-apis-kirsten-hunter-9781617292552","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
