Takeaways from 30 Days of API Content feat. Josh Austin, Director of Technology at InnovateMR

In our latest podcast episode, we spoke with Josh Austin, Director Of Technology at InnovateMR. In late 2021, Austin completed a Brand30 30 Day Content Challenge, producing a month's worth of API-related content for the world. Austin's goal is to introduce the rest of the world, non-technical folks and business leaders alike, to the greatness of APIs. He shared with me two of his main takeaways from the content challenge. The first focuses on encouraging those who aren't your average developer to be as jazzed about APIs as the rest of us are and creates a little more clarity around the API space. The second piece centers around advice for API fanatics looking to create an API program of their own. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a nontechnical enthusiast looking to learn more about APIs, Austin provides a wide array of content on the world of APIs that you can check out on his LinkedIn. The Stoplight API design blog also caters to many of the topics discussed. Do you have a question you'd like answered, or a topic you want to see in a future episode?
