APIs from the Trenches - FOWA 2014

People can spend a lot of time debugging APIs. Think about it, people are consuming something they have not designed or coded, and documentation can only go so far. In this talk we will cover debugging APIs as a consumer, highlight the tools that are out there available to take the pain out of consuming APIs. We will also look at how to bake in debugging as an API author and how to use logging to give you help when things do go wrong.
