How to Design Great APIs - Parse Developer Day 2013

[@jwavess]

I've watched quite a few videos on api's, read articles, books, asked in the Q&A forms, and everyone was giving me the wrong impression, until now! Thank you man, this was great!

[@bkboggy]

I want more talks from this gentleman. What a fantastic talk.

[@hann3r]

Awesome explanation of APIs, examples, and in-depth analysis!

[@stefainex99ming]

great in-depth talk about designing API! thanks

[@vladanulardzic5859]

Brilliant presentation ! Really, really brilliant. Keep on !

[@Ugotsta]

This talk is both funny and informative and thus totally entertaining. I love it! One great example of good API design I came across recently is Paper.js. Great API and great docs that are rife with relevant examples.

Well, that escalated quickly, Parse is shutting down in Jan,2017.

[@jinxblaze]

atleast the talk still stands :)

[@zaccomusic]

amazing content I hope you keep update :)

[@johnlocke5363]

did he mention that he works for parse?

[@i_am_ashutosh]

That's really Informative. Thanks :)

[@nedvedyang]

nice talk, agree on the laziness and doc parts.

Saw this video a few days ago. I love watching tech presentations. The presenter here has real stage presence. Yeah, also, I categorically disagree with almost everything said. Specially, the notion of "Intuition-Driven Development". Intuition-Driven Development is the reason why I end up with screws and fixtures left over when I try to assemble Ikea furniture without reading the manual.

saveInBackground and saveEventually don't sound like good names, I can't quite guess the difference between them

[@nbamj88]

kudos for the speaker Kevin Lacker

Laziness is beautiful, that’s why mathematicians call a ‘lazy’ proof ‘elegant’.

[@AbhishekVaid]

Very good tutorial

[@adityasanka]

Great examples

[@lucasterable]

Well, laziness is the most powerful emotion for most human beings after all

[@AlNewkirk]

The blurb about Perl is funny, seemingly true to people that don't know any better, but ultimately kinda lame. E.g., The length function in Perl is a function not a method, because everything isn't an object, and as-such, expects a particular input (string), not whatever you want. Protip: RTFM.

[@jee_warriorz]

great talk..

[@TheMraptor]

lame comparison... CONTEXT is very important thing in Perl... the presenter took LAME approach instead of LAZY approach...

[@donnaryan4939]

Thank you

[@YoungGrizzly]

He took shots at the PHP string library...TRIGGERED!

[@Mr4thdimention]

This is not a very deep analysis of API design.

[@gappergob6169]

What did you expect from 30 minutes talk?

[@shihailuo6755]

没国人?

[@James-op6ls]

To laziness!

[@StuartLoria]

Funny

4 years later (2017), parse has been shut down. Probably for "bad API design". What an irony
