Developer Experience (DX) for Open-Source Projects (English, Japanese)

Developer Experience (DX) for Open-Source Projects (English, Japanese)

Developer experience is one of the most important factors when it comes to building a successful product for developers. Most successful open-source projects share a similar pattern - an engaging developer experience. How can an open-source project engage developers more easily? How should the developer experience be crafted differently compared to commercial products? What are the best practices in providing a world-class developer experience?

To learn more about OpenAPI Generator, the eBook "A Beginner's Guide to Code Generation for REST APIs (OpenAPI Generator)", available in 5 different languages: English, Française, 日本語, 简体中文, 繁体中文, is a good starting point: https://gumroad.com/wing328

    stubs, documentation • API clients (30+ programming languages) • 30+ server frameworks • API Documentations • Apache2 web server config • GraphQL Schema [INPUT 入力] OpenAPI Spec For REST API • Swagger 1.2 • Swagger/OpenAPI 2.0 • OpenAPI 3.x [PROCESS 処理] OpenAPI Generator • Java package (JAR) • CLI • Brew (MacOS) • REST API • Docker • NPM • Plug-ins (Maven, Gradle, IntelliJ, Eclipse, etc)
  4. OpenAPI spec (v3.0) example 例 /pets/{petId}: get: summary: Info for

    a specific pet operationId: showPetById tags: - pets parameters: - name: petId in: path required: true description: The id of the pet to retrieve schema: type: string responses: '200': description: Expected response to a valid request content: application/json: schema: $ref: "#/components/schemas/Pet" 4
  5. Why does Developer Experience (DX) matter? • Onboarding new developers

    • Gather feedback • Easier to contribute back • Keep developers engaged • Grow the developer community and more ...

  11. Background check - Google Trend, Social Media - Who’s using

    it in production Install/Setup - Getting Start? Installation? - Try it online without installing anything? - Sample output? - Plug-ins? Maven, Gradle, Eclipse, Visual Studio Documentation Run it in Dev/QA/Production environment Project status - Project (commit log) active? - Changelog and release note - Code quality - Build status (2) Evaluation 15
