Cooking up some API goodness for you

Hi y’all! Welcome to Jim’s API Café. I’m Jim Andrews and this is my little space where I will be cooking up some API goodness to share with you. Like all good cafes I know, I hope you’ll find a community here as well as good, filling morsels of techy stuff you can take home with you in a virtual Muley bag.

Most good meals are best shared with friends. If you like what you find here, tell your friends you found a great “hole in the wall” that they really must try. There always seems to be a nice playlist of good tunes as well that can just be picked out over the voices so be on the lookout for that as well.

Behind the counter, the kitchen here at The API Cafe is vast and sprawling. I have 30 years in the consulting and system development world with over 20 of those spent refining the special sauce of integration. But infinitely more than that, I have friendships and relationships I developed over those years with the true API chefs of technology and I learn from them all the time.

Some of the best technology chefs I’ve never actually met. But I try to learn all I can from their “cookbooks”. The interesting recipes that I’ve found in their books, talks, and seminars, I’d be remiss not to share here in this space.

For my cookware, I have found the MuleSoft measuring cups, whisks, skillets, pots, and pans are among the best in the industry.

At the outset, I must admit while I love to grill and bbq (metaphors aside) outside, my wife is the real genius in the kitchen, particularly around baking. And she can also whip up a mean SQL Statement if needed as well. My inspiration for this space is regularly watching her combine just the right ingredients to make something deliciously innovative.

As we say down here when the food is all laid out, Dig In!
