Maintainable API Docs & Other Rainbow-Colored Unicorns

A session at OSCON 2011

Web API documentation is a necessity for the success of a platform. Developers need docs to learn how to utilize your resources. Providing poor documentation is often considered worse than no documentation at all (which is inexcusable).

Why do so many companies fail at providing great docs? What are the trends in the API universe when it comes to web API docs?

Neil will discuss the trend of interactive API documentation, and how it helps platform providers maintain docs more easily, keep docs examples fresh and up to date, and provide an interactive learning environment that is clean and concise.
