Device APIs in the Real World
alistapart.com
on 04/07/2013
Excerpt: In his A List Apart article Environmental Design with the Device API, Tim Wright proposed taking user experience to the next level by creating applications that pay attention to changes in the physical environment and respond accordingly. As a follow-up to that article, Tim has put together a quick video demonstrating the ambient light detection capabilities of the Nexus 7. Tim has been working on the web since 1997, and specializes in developing custom publishing systems with responsive HTML5 interfaces.

Apigee Announced an API Exchange Friday
www.apify.co
on 04/02/2013
Excerpt: A decade ago, during the first wave of Internet innovation, countless business plans began with the breathless promise of becoming the UN of this or that information exchange. ECommerce and communications would be transformed through the mediation of a neutral “man in the middle”. Here's what happened: the communitarian exchanges failed; businesses that went direct to consumers succeeded; the hope for communal mediation was left to overreaching consortia grasping after fading relevance. Why did the “disintermediated” direct-to-buyer model win? Simple: it was simplicity. The problem with multilateral exchanges is complexity.... read the full post.

The Netflix Tech Blog: Python at Netflix
techblog.netflix.com
on 03/11/2013
Excerpt: We’ve blogged a lot about how we use Java here at Netflix, but Python’s footprint in our environment continues to increase. In honor of our sponsorship of PyCon, we wanted to highlight our many uses of Python at Netflix. Developers at Netflix have the freedom to choose the technologies best suited for the job. More and more, developers turn to Python due to its rich batteries-included standard library, succinct and clean yet expressive syntax, large developer community, and the wealth of third party libraries one can tap into to solve a given problem. Its dynamic underpinnings enable developers to rapidly iterate and innovate, two very important qualities at Netflix.... read the full post.

API Business ROI | APIfy
www.apify.co
on 03/07/2013
Excerpt: Numerous measurements exist for APIs. On the technical level, these metrics are fairly well understood. However, on the business level, there is a great deal of confusion over how the effectiveness of an API program can be accurately measured. Layer 7’s March 14 webinar, ROI for APIs – which will feature input from TechCrunch and AT&T – should help to clear up some of this confusion. In particular, the webinar will focus on how hackthons can be used to gather valuable data for API ROI measurement. How you measure your API ROI will depend on the purpose your APIs play in the greater business picture.... read the full post.

The Netflix Tech Blog: Netflix Queue: Data migration for a high volume web application
techblog.netflix.com
on 02/16/2013
Excerpt: There will come a time in the life of most systems serving data, when there is a need to migrate data to a more reliable, scalable and high performance data store while maintaining or improving data consistency, latency and efficiency. This document explains the data migration technique we used at Netflix to migrate the user’s queue data between two different distributed NoSQL storage systems. The Netflix Queue lets you keep and maintain a list of the movies & TV shows you want to watch on your devices and computers.
Netflix embraces Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) composed of many small fine grained services that do one thing and one thing well.... read the full post.

Dropbox rolls out new API for iOS, Android to ease developer workloads
www.zdnet.com
on 02/06/2013
Excerpt: Dropbox is introducing a new API today intended to make developers' workloads a bit simpler. See also: Box weaving together old, new alliances to build global partner network
The Sync API for iOS and Android is designed to make it easier to manage connectivity, backends, and storage. For example, because the Sync API caches locally, developers can use the tool when working offline. The work is then automatically uploaded and synced with existing progress on an app when brought online. More importantly -- at least for Dropbox -- this API is touted to make it easier for developers to integrate Dropbox's cloud syncing features into their apps.... read the full post.

Excerpt: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a new set of guidelines in order to try and secure user privacy in a move that could affect companies including Apple and Microsoft. The FTC's guidelines -- although currently non-binding -- are directed at firms that develop mobile platforms and applications.
