Harmony in API Development: Bridging Code-First and Design-First
A talk given by Brett Bush from LogicGate at API World 2024 in Santa Clara, California.
Within API-First development, a dichotomy has formed: Code-First or Design-First. Are these approaches destined to be adopted in polarized isolation, or rather, are they equally valid phases of a healthy API development cycle? This presentation will reveal a new way to visualize the cyclical nature of Code-First and Design-First API development, discuss parallels to Test-Driven development, and explore the benefits unlocked from leveraging both methodologies in tandem via API-Driven Development.
At API World 2024, Brett Bush explores breaking free from the dichotomy of API-First, Design-First, and Code-First development with a new holistic, realistic, and applicable approach of API-Driven development, inspired by the flexibility and cyclical nature of Test-Driven development.
