In this session, you'll hear about what's new in API development from some of today's most popular APIs including GitHub, SoundCloud, IFTTT, and Dropbox. We'll discuss the design decisions we made with our APIs as well as what we're working on now. We'll debate the merits of RESTful APIs and whether we chose to develop SDKs for our APIs. We'll also discuss user authentication, privacy and security, and the OAuth protocol. It's important for APIs to work cross-platform so we'll discuss how we're working with both web and mobile APIs. Expect to hear a lot about what we're working on at the moment and where we see APIs going in the future.
