One-day workshop on June 14, will examine best practices for delivering RESTful APIs and creating new monetization models by exposing APIs on a vertical PaaS
Palo Alto, CA – May 31, 2012 – Increasingly, managed APIs are at the heart of enterprise IT strategies for extending business processes and services to customers, partners, and other groups within the organization. In a workshop for IT architects and developers, WSO2 (http://wso2.com/products/carbon) Vice President of Technology Evangelism Chris Haddad will examine:
- Best practices for delivering RESTful APIs, dynamic API service levels, and API governance.
- New monetization models that can be achieved by deploying a vertical platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and exposing business APIs to partners and customers.
- How to create an “AppFactory” to host partner applications while maintaining compliance, monetization, customer ownership, and project visibility.
The one-day workshop, “Deliver Your Business as an API and Create an AppFactory,” will be held in New York on Thursday, June 14, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. To register, visit http://wso2.com/events/workshops/2012-june-new-york-deliver-your-business-as-an-api-and-create-an-appfactory-workshop.
Maximizing API Assets
The workshop is designed for IT architects and developers seeking to build effective RESTful APIs that can be used across different business domains. It will explore how to expose heterogeneous back-end assets—such as services, data, processes and rules—as RESTful APIs in a quick, simple and architecturally sound manner, using the WSO2 API Management Platform based on award-winning WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware (http://wso2.com/products/carbon).
The workshop also will examine how organizations can go beyond foundational use cases to address API lifecycle development activities, monetize API assets, and offer personalized behavior across multiple business channels. Additionally, the event will preview the WSO2 AppFactory (currently in beta) and how it can be used with the WSO2 Stratos cloud middleware platform (http://wso2.com/cloud/stratos). Among the use cases explored will be how to create domain-specific PaaS environments, connect development with deployment, and present a partner ecosystem platform t
