API First Guide

Today's focus is on "API First" development - a hot topic that has been simmering since the birth of the API ecosystem several years ago but which has more recently come to the forefront as companies struggle with the daunting task of maintaining an API system as a separate code base than the main product. Having all of your products (including your main website) consume the same APIs has many advantages - so many, in fact, that it's frequently worthwhile to refactor your system so this is possible. This table gives a short list of some of the articles out there on API First - if you have more, please contact us and encourage us to add them.
