It’s no surprise that creating developer-friendly APIs is a daunting task: from strategizing on evangelism techniques to the differences between the enterprise and open web, there are many ways to succeed, and at the same time — many ways to fail.
Steve Marx (developer advocate at Dropbox) will moderate a panel consisting of Jason Harmon (platform architect at Paypal), Neil Mansilla (director of platform and partnerships at Mashery), Michael Harkey (platform business development at Foursquare) and Dan Martin (VP of OpenAPI community and platform at MasterCard) will join together to explore the best ways to create user-friendly APIs, taking into consideration the various elements that go into building applications and evaluating the developer experience as a whole. With over 50 years of combined experience in the developer community this panel of experts has the background and expertise across industries to dig into the myriad tools it takes to be successful and the various approaches to API strategies — sharing real-world examples that bring to life the development experience.
IoT is quickly evolving beyond being synonymous with sensor-driven data and becoming socially engaging. There is an overwhelming influx of human information generated in our daily lives that remain untapped and underutilized. Conversations that we have online and offline, pictures that we take, tweets that we post – this human information is often neglected due to the difficulty of understanding or harnessing it, yet it makes up the vast majority of all information that exists. Imagine a sound system that automatically plays music based on the mood conveyed in your tweets, or a Nerf gun that only targets people on your naughty list. Now you can automate extraction of human information and easily access functionalities such as OCR, speech-to-text, face recognition, sentiment analysis or categorization through a simple call of an API to unlock the full potential of the Internet of Things. Join us for this engaging session as we discuss the opportunities of leveraging APIs that can harness human information.
During the past decade, businesses have been implementing IoT applications by connecting devices/“things” on their internal network (InTRAnet) to provide better customer service, reduce costs and more. These businesses are converting the vast amounts of data generated into actionable insights by applying advanced analytics technologies designed specifically to handle the requirements of Real-time Big Data analytics.
With more and more devices being connected to the InTERnet, the opportunity for additional value is growing rapidly as the projected number devices connected broadly across all of IoT grows exponentially.
To truly take advantage of the massive amounts of real-time data in the emerging IoT world, we need to transform our thinking, processes, and infrastructure to act in seconds...not hours and days.
This presentation will discuss the opportunities, challenges, and solutions related to analyzing large amounts of IOT data.
