So, maybe you've read about API development or built a few APIs already — but you still feel there must be a better way to design them.
In A Pattern a Day, your free online API design course, you'll receive practical API design patterns step by step — from the foundations of API design to topics like versioning, error handling, service integration, data payload design, rate limiting, SLA and more.
Each pattern covers the pattern context, pattern problem, solution and pattern consequences — short, practical and easy to digest.

Hey, I'm Daniel
Over the years I've worked closely with development teams and organizations to understand their needs and design systems that not only meet requirements, but also help businesses digitize and improve their processes.
I'm also a co-author of "Patterns for API Design" — a book that has helped hundreds of developers worldwide design better APIs.
The patterns in this journey come directly from that work — distilled into short, practical emails you can apply right away.
