We were invited to give a talk at the London Book Fair about the Plug & Play Project. The audience was due to be a mix of traditional publishers and developers. Based on this we decided that, rather than focussing on who we are and what we do, we would explain why APIs are valuable channels of getting publishers' content to customers, highlighting the way people read and interact with content today is different from 5 - 10 years ago and still evolving. 

 

Our recipe API has been added to the list of connectors on Canapi - have a look here

Hackathon on April fools day ? Despite the date, it really did happen. After quick introductions and briefing, the event got started, although as befits the date, it did not get off to a smooth start ! As the Lightning talks were about to get started, the projector decided that it was going to take the day off. Some quick thinking by the Apigee guys nearly saved the day...rather than using the projector, the lightning talks could be 'webexed' instead. Alas, it was not to be.
