Developer experience is an extension of general User Experience, which emphasizes the developer, and their experiences working your API.
A good API developer experience goes beyond technical writing. It is about providing all the right resources that help your end consumers successfully integrate and work with your API.
A well designed developer experience has API documentation at the center of it. But good documentation isn’t an easy task, and can oftentimes be a tedious and time consuming process for a lot of engineers.
On February 22, the SwaggerHub team is hosting a free online training: API Developer Experience: Why it Matters, and How Documenting Your API with Swagger Can Help. This webinar will look at the role of API documentation in providing a great developer experience with your API.
