From APIDesign

I have to mention that I've been pointed to another review of the Practical API Design book. Very nice read, I was pleased to hear the book was useful. But then, I got to the comments section. Well, that did not feel pleasant anymore. For a while I was searching for a rope and a tree to hung and lynch myself.

However after thinking about it for a bit more, I believe that I do not need to persecute myself for writing the book. I knew the book is not complete, I knew its selection of topics is subjective and related to my own experience (hence the word Practical in the title), yet the book is still more useful out than kept just in my head and notes.

I just have to repeat the theme of the epilogue: The exploration of the API world is just starting. If you have something to say about API design and you are not afraid to contribute to a wiki, feel free to join the wiki.apidesign.org. If you have ideas about various APITypes or APIDesignPatterns or related topics don't let them be buried in Blogs, put them into wiki - wikis are like stars, they are forever. Almost.
