Think there's nothing left to explore in how we design Web API frameworks? Think again. The author of Django REST framework walks through how we might approach designing a new Python-based API framework from scratch, and looks at how we can start building smarter, more productive API tooling as a result. You should come away from this talk with a better appreciation of: How best to provide API client libraries and API documentation to your users. How to build APIs that support both realtime and request/response interfaces. How to build APIs that are web-browsable. Why you might want to consider taking a schema-first approach to your API design.
