It's an interesting analysis of the status of APIs in today's software development process.

This collection of articles offers very little for anyone that already knows the topic and I wouldn't recommend it for beginners either. The quality of the articles varies, some are really badly written and confusing and some don't offer much more than a wiki page on the topic.

Skip this and read a few posts on medium instead.

"Ok" book. It's a series of articles from Nordic APIs and I guess the purpose of the book is just presenting some tools and advices, without entering in details. May be more useful to DevOps guys with some good experience.

A basic and good intro to the API-Driven DevOps world. Talks about processes and tools to help you enjoy this important IT trend. And the Kindle book is very cheap at amazon!
