In this webcast, API Design: Third Edition, our hosts drew upon the discussions and implementations with hundreds of crafters and technologists that have helped further shape their API design thinking in the 12 months since the previous edition of RESTful API Design.

In this webcast: The New Three Tier Architecture: HTML5, Proxies & APIs, @landlessness and @kevinswiber discussed the 3-tier architecture of presentation, logic and data and the technologies that underlay these tiers, which power the mobile web. Behind the logic and presentation layers, the data tier is traditionally driven by relational databases. Today, with rich APIs available for developers to store application data, a traditional RDB is often not used by modern apps.

API facade is an important design pattern in an API designer's toolbox and a powerful tool for app developers who need to work with APIs they don't control. In a 4 part series of webcasts, our hosts explore essential patterns that enable API teams and app developers to implement and improve their API designs and apps.

What makes for a great API design? What will make the developers who use your API successful quickly? What debates and decisions go on behind the scenes before an API team launches an API? At this stop on our API Design Tour, we continue our discussions with leading API Teams around the design and business of APIs.
