Abstract:
At first APIs and noBackend could sound like a contradiction. We'll show however a practical example how, with minimum upfront investment, you can rapidly prototype, develop and test your application using APIs.
Providing a simple, structured description of your API in the form of an API Blueprint enables the front-end developer to code against a comfortable SDK and use an API mock while developing offline.
API Blueprint is a simple, pure Markdown language for describing Web API, that is designed for humans, but understandable by machines. A whole ecosystems of tools emerged around it, including auto-generated docs, API mocks, automated testing and SDK generation.
Jakub is co-founder & CEO of Apiary, helping you make API design and documentation enjoyable. Prior to Apiary Jakub has led 10years of experience leading API products and engineering teams in companies like GoodData and APN.
