API's are becoming commonplace with all big web sites. Sites such as Google, Yahoo! and Twitter are all giving you access to API's that give you access to their data. Why? Is this something that you should do for your web site? Not only will we discuss why you should create an API we will also look at how you can create one. We will review some different concepts when creating API's and look at some of the things you need to watch out for. By the end of the presentation you will be ready to create a secure and useful API.

GIVEAWAYS:
New Adobe swag and the return of the Adobe pens!
