APIs and DevOps at Gluecon

Two of the hottest areas in tech this year are APIs (which we've been covering for over 5 years) and DevOps. As such, I thought I'd pull together what we've got going at Gluecon around these topics.APIs at GlueconThings kick off on May 20th, with the APIStrat Tech Un-Workshop on Gluecon (from 1pm to 6pm at the Omni Interlocken). Please note: this event if free and open to the public (you do not need to be registered for Gluecon to attend), but you *must* register for one of the 150 seats.Then, on the 21st and 22nd (Gluecon proper), you'll find sessions dealing with APIs, like:"API SDKs will ruin your life""API First: Designing your Product from the Platform Out""Why Your Next API Should Be Designed By A Linguist""Exploring approaches for maliciously hacking APIs...and how to prevent them""Building an API strategy for Enterprise Scale""How To Secure Your REST API The Right Way""Taming the RESTed NARWHL: Striking the Balance Between Usability and Zealotry in REST""10 Reasons Why Developers Hate Your API (and what to do about it)""Describe, Design, and Connect your API faster with Swagger""Introducing Tensile!
