+# The Rubyists Guide to API Development
+
+A talk on the state of API development in Ruby.
+
+First, it will cover the important considers when building an API - Namely, key things to
+know when structuring your data, deciding how deal with responses and most importantly
+how to make your API enjoyable for other developers to use - Something many APIs miss.
+
+I'll also cover different parts of HTTP that can make life as an API developer more useful
+and common considerations such as Auth, caching and other such magic.
+
+Finally, it will end with a walk through of the options currently available
+for building apis in Ruby (Sinatra, Grape, Rails, Rails-API and RocketPants)
+
+The talk will be similar to / expanded upon a my [API Driven Development talk](https://speakerdeck.com/u/sutto/p/api-driven-applications)
+given at RedDotRubyConf 2012 in Singapore.
