What's this about?
- Technologies change
- People change
- Programmers must also change
Let's walk down memory lane
From technological perspective:
Cloud services – easier to build than ever
From customer perspective:
Same goals, less struggle
Let's imagine yet another example
1. Decide that you want this
2. Find recipe
3. Make list of products
4. Go to a shop
5. Gather all the items
6. Pay for them
7. Go home and cook
What's the shorter alternative?
1. Decide that you want this
7. Go home and cook
Be big and have everything
Google
Amazon
Apple
Microsoft
Be open for integrations
Be a part of something bigger!
So, what can we do as programmers?
HTTP, RESTful APIs
GraphQL, gRPC
Swagger, RAML, HATEOS, Schema.org, JSON API, JSON-LD, ...
The way you think!
