RubyConf 2014 - Building Your API for Longevity by Mike Stowe
Channel: Confreaks
Date: 2014-12-18

One of the greatest challenges to developing an API is ensuring that your API lasts. After all, you don't want to have to release and manage multiple versions of your API just because you weren't expecting users to use it a certain way, or because you didn't anticipate far enough down the roadmap.
