Acknowledgments

First of all, thanks to Chris Dent and Matt Liggett for teaching me about REST APIs lo these 10 years ago. I’d never have gotten inspired to wave this flag if I hadn’t been infected with their enthusiasm. Kin Lane, Steve Willmott, and Mike Admunsen, rock stars of the API industry, have helped me develop and advocate for best practices in the platform world. I’d also like to thank all the developer customers who have inspired me to make APIs more usable and friendly.

My appreciation also goes out to reviewers Heather Tooill, James Higginbotham, Jason Harmon, Manoj Agarwal, Adrian Cockcroft, Robert Walsh, Stephen Byrne, Joel Kotarski, Nickie Buckner, Kumar Unnikrishnan, Lourens Steyn, Karsten Strobaek, Marco Imperatore, Satadru ...
