I recently had the opportunity to speak in depth with Neil Perkin, the editor of Only Dead Fish, where we discussed the publishing industry and Pearson's move to create an API program. Neil is exploring the evolving publishing industry and how these publishers are respondoing to new market demand. He is specifically interested in innovative ways publishers are making their content accessible to third parties. Check out Neil's blog post from the interview here.
Neil has captured the highlights of the interview in the blog post. Several of the applications created, Maptouria and AngelCook, are featured displaying the creative use of our DK Eyewitness Travel Guide API and the Pearson Kitchen Manager API.

Great write up from Luke about this years Over The Air event. He attended our session his comment is spot on:
What’s more interesting is that a relatively traditional organisation like Pearson is opening up their data at all. It shows that this is a trend that is happening across all industries, and hopefully we’ll soon get to a stage where developers can pull in data from just about anywhere, creating some truly exciting and innovative experiences.

This years event was my first taste of Over The Air (OTA) and what a great introduction it was.

The talks
There were great speakers and a really friendly bunch of devs doing some very cool things. Amongst my favourite had to be be Mo McRobert's talk about the Open Data and APIs he's working on at the BBC.
