(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/20/12 -- Mashery, the leading provider of API management platforms and services, announced today it is expanding its popular global Business of APIs (BAPI) conference by introducing API University, a half-day of technical hands-on sessions for API professionals. API University is designed to teach IT professionals and API providers the foundational concepts, strategic best practices and promotion strategies used in the world's most successful APIs. API University will be offered as an optional morning component of each BAPI conference in San Francisco (October 2), New York (October 17) and London (November 6).
In response to overwhelming attendee demand for both business best-practice use cases and ground-level advice on successful API initiatives, API University adds a hands-on component to the already successful half-day BAPI sessions showcasing the best business uses of APIs to date. Aimed at equipping attendees with practical how-to knowledge of best practices, API University will be taught by some of the leading minds in the API platform industry.
"As we guide a growing number of the most advanced and successful API initiatives in the retail, media, consumer packaged goods, finance, travel, healthcare and data services industries, we have seen the rising demand for a formal hands-on curriculum of best practices, strategies and skills in taking a platform from definition and design to deployment," said Chuck Freedman, Director of Platform Strategies, Mashery. "API University aims to take the best of these practices and deliver them as a curriculum to prepare API professionals for the Business of APIs conference and continued API success."
API University will feature three educational sessions aimed at giving attendees the knowledge and skill to increase platform success, and the supporting material that will help graduates take full advantage of the high-level talks at BAPI, and educate others within their organization on:
Foundations for API management & security: Shailendra Gupta ((at)shgupta) and Scott Farnsworth, of Mashery's Client and Technical Services teams, discuss how to design and deliver your API as a stable and optimized service to partners and developers.
