Early praise for Design and Build Great Web APIs

Written in a lively and entertaining style, Design and Build Great Web APIs is a truly comprehensive journey through the development of high-quality APIs: it’s accessible for those who are new to the field while also providing food for thought for the more experienced. The worked examples, alongside chapter-by-chapter exercises, provide excellent hands-on learning, which is unusual for books in the API field.
