How do you document an API?
How do you build a good developer portal? What types of information does it need to have a great developer experience? And how do you scale up?
API The Docs is an event series for tech writers, API developers, product owners and developer evangelists who embrace documentation as a crucial aspect of a great developer experience. The conference is a great opportunity to meet, share and discuss the latest best practices, strategies and new trends relevant to API documentation and developer portals.
API The Docs was inspired by the Write The Docs conferences, but it is a standalone operation. Initiated by Pronovix, the events aim to allow as many people as possible to learn about API documentation. We keep event prices as low as we can, by keeping it a community effort. The organizers, the speakers, the members of the speaker selection committee generously support this with their time, knowledge and resources. We publish the recordings of the presentations afterwards, in line with our open access policy.
