Book Review: Build APIs You Won't Hate

A few months ago I read Build APIs You Wont Hate by Phil Sturgeon. Its an opinionated view of whats important when designing APIs. I loved it - rather that leave things open to interpretation, he tells you how to do it. You wont agree with everything, but you will learn a lot.

It contains code samples, which allows you to build along as you read, and apply the lessons.

• Other good articles by Phil, specifically REST and Hypermedia and
• JSON API, OpenAPI and JSON Schema Working in Harmony

I listed some of my learnings from the book, and how I applied it in another post.

I'm looking forward to the next book: Surviving Other Peoples APIs
