TIBCO puts some shade on the internal mechanics of API integration too, so what elements are concerned? inner API integration operations we discover touchpoints to microservices, so-termed ‘API choreography’, routing and API transformation functionality.

“API usage is evolving and becoming an increasing number of sophisticated; consequently the need to adapt the API control platform to offer all essential talents inclusive of API introduction, integration and management, within a unmarried cloud-based carrier,” said Matt Quinn government vice chairman, products and technology and leader generation officer, TIBCO. “To supply the various and growing needs of digital business, an API control platform now needs to offer abilities, such as advanced routing and transformation, that have traditionally been the domain of API improvement and integration middleware. Mashery enterprise brings those abilties together to provide a single, present day API platform.”

The firm says that Mashery business enterprise platform lets in users to show data and services for sharing with builders to extend marketplace reach and generate new revenue streams.

Mashery employer users can build and check APIs, define run-time governance regulations, migrate APIs between environments, and reveal and report on API usage.

It is with a heavy heart that we regret to inform our loyal readership that we will be decommissioning our tumblr strategy blog.  This was not a decision we arrived at lightly; in the end it came down to a Game of Thrones style trial by combat showdown.  The pro tumblr side hasn’t read the books and is still catching up on the last season so predictably it chose an Oberyn-esque champion.  Needless to say it did not end well for tumblr.  

 But fret not API strategy fans; the Strategy Team is not leaving you!  You’ll still be able to read Rob's ramblings,  Devon's discourse, Tameez's thoughts, Rahul's repartee, and Kyle's contemplations (we know the last one was a stretch but it is so difficult to find a word that starts with “K”) you’ll just have to do it somewhere else. We aren’t as much closing down as we are moving out.  And like a recent grad with a degree in medieval Slavic history, we’re moving back home.  That’s right you can still find all of our Strategy goodness on the Mashery Blog page.  And we fully intend to keep all of the strategy content coming - complimented by bad puns, pop culture references and anything else we find humorous on that day. So keep reading because we’re going to keep writing.  And hey, if you ever want to chat about what we’ve had to say or talk about your API strategy, reach out to us we’d love to talk with you.

 You’ve been a great audience and we do appreciate your loyalty especially when you have so many other great tumblrs to fill your internet hours so to reward you for the time you’ve spent with us here’s 20 Funny Cat Gifs.  Enjoy!

Mashery representatives Sarah-Jane Morris and Rex St. John were on site at the San Mateo County Event Center to help support the Onramp 2014 connected car hackathon sponsored by Toyota. Hosted on Hacker League, the Onramp 2014 event was organized to showcase Toyota's new technology: CAN Gateway-ECU.

What is CAN Gateway-ECU? CAN stands for "Controller Area Bus" and "ECU" stands for "Electronic Control Unit." Most vehicles sold on the market currently use the CAN protocol to relay vehicle information between micro-controllers installed inside the vehicle itself. With CAN Gateway-ECU, developers can tap into a wealth of vehicle signals including fuel consumption, oil temperature, acceleration, braking and much more via the Bluetooth protocol. In short, there is tremendous untapped potential to build innovative software applications, and that is exactly what happened this weekend!

Registration started off at 9am Saturday, December 6th. Drawn by the possibilities of using vehicle data to build interesting projects, developers claimed their table-spaces and began familiarizing themselves with the CAN Gateway-ECU technology documentation.

One team, Sky Crew, with members Ramin Firoozye and Tim Burks, brought several Intel Edison devices and used them to connect with data sources and relay vehicle information to a back-end built with Google App Engine. 

Team Eye in the Sky brought along an impressive array of hardware including several drones. A "super-team," they occupied multiple tables and worked towards implementing a drone-based tracking system for connected cars using the data from CAN Gateway-ECU.

One of the highlights of Onramp 2014 is that Toyota provided teams with access to 6 FR-S street racers which developers could drive while testing their paired mobile applications.  Throughout the weekend, teams could be seen heading out to the parking lot to screech tires and engaging in tactical maneuvering around a nest of orange cones.

Nanami Tsukamoto, a noted Japanese race car driver, was invited to the event by Kyosho, who specialize in RC car technology. Kyosho provided developers with a very interesting piece of hardware which allows users to steer and drive RC cars using the controls of an actual car.  

Teams crunched through Saturday night to deliver on their (often ambitious) projects by Sunday morning. With a $10,000 grand prize as well as three prizes for sub-categories including Fun, Efficiency and Safety, participants were eager to deliver competitive results. On Sunday morning, the local media arrived en masse to view the innovations. 

After a round of demos, careful note-taking and question-asking, the judges excused themselves to determine which teams would proceed to the final rounds and their eligibility for the grand prize itself.

The audience convened in the auditorium to view demos from the finalists.

Team Eye in the Sky with members Nathan Schuett, David Witt, Steven Hung, Ben Sebby, Sho Hiruta and Hakuei Huang earned the top prize for their work on teaching drones to follow Scion FR-S cars as they race and drift around a race track using a live feed from the vehicle's GPS. 

The winners of the three category prizes were as follows. The "Fun" prize was won by team Interactive86, consisting of Zhichao Wang, Man Fai Kan and Barney Hsiao. The "Efficiency" prize was won by team RACEme with members Jeff Nucum and Aaron Abajian. Finally, the "Safety" award went to team AWARE with members Ray Cervantes, Jayanth Jumar Voruganti, Jesus Cagide, JR Alaoui and Emna Ghariani.

Sometimes, smaller events can rock as hard as larger events...that was the case with MoDevHacks at the Arlington, VA Artisphere last Sunday where 60 developers gathered to build the best wearable projects they could in a short 8 hour time period. Evangelist Rex St. John was on site with 18 Intel Edison boards and 8 IoT DevKits as well as prizes for "Best use of Mashery APIs" and "Best use of Intel Hardware." 

A relatively small venue, I got off the plane and took a short 8 minute cab ride from Reagan airport and arrived just in time to give my traditional API and IoT pitch to an audience of tinkerers.

I made a lot of new friends and got to spend lots of time with each Intel Edison group, helping them get up and running with our documentation and connecting devices to our sensor kit via Arduino IDE. 

Pretty soon, the hacks began stacking up with complex arrangements like the one pictured above, which adds motor controls to the base Intel Edison Arduino breakout board.

Team HydroEdison aka Steve Jernigan built a “Boat” with working rudder and won a Basis watch for his efforts.

Up close with HydroEdison, very creative. 

Team Hacker Ears with Sean McMains, Jesse Ryan and Lisa Folliard built an augmented hearing system for the hearing impaired with integrated mobile application.

Team GetUp with Stan Reeser built a device to detect when people have been sitting for too long using the light detector and track hours spent seated.

This team connected Edison to an air conditioner unit and integrated the temperature sensor.

Not a team, but the CTO of BuddyPlatform built a real-time API backend for Intel Edison using their M2M services in an hour.

Mashery evangelists Amit Jotwani and Rex St John were on site at this year's Fall HackRU (powered by Hacker League) for a lively 24-hour hackathon with #inteliot Edison devices. Here are a few of the highlights.

Mashery's Business of APIs conference is a long-running part of our efforts to educate the business world about the benefits of APIs and API management. This year at BAPI NYC 2014, the focus moved firmly towards the Internet of Things (and wearables) with talks from numerous industry luminaries including API Science's John Musser, Brivo Labs GM Lee Odess and Basis Maro Della Torre. In the above photo, Oren Michels (CEO of Mashery), discusses APIs with New York Times CIO Marc Frons. 

The event started off early Wednesday morning on October 8th in the Jazz at Lincoln Center venue located on the corner of Central Park. The view, needless to say, was spectacular.

I was on-site with demos including a MakerBot Mini 3D printer, Intel Edison and Intel's newly launched Context Sense SDK. Over the course of the day, business decision makers stopped by to take a look at the latest and greatest internet of things technologies focusing on context, 3d printing and making (Edison).

Cassandra Murray of the mighty Mashery Events team demonstrated a brand new style "putting a dragon on it." 

Marco Della Torre gave an interesting talk about the future of wearable devices including a discussion on the new Basis Peak. He also spent a few minutes highlighting the capabilities of the Intel Edison.

Lee Odess from Brivo Labs got on stage to outline a new approach to building security termed Social Access Management, powered by a device called the ID Box (prototyped using Intel Galileo and Intel Edison).

I was on site with our "Internet of Things" intern and electrical engineering student Steven Xing at Georgia Tech over the weekend for their first major collegiate hackathon: HackGT. We brought with us 40 IoT sensor kits, 40 Intel Edison devices and a number of prizes including a CrazyFlie micro-drone and several Basis fitness watches. For a "first time event," HackGT attracted a large list of major tech sponsors and over $60,000 in total prizes for participants - quite a strong turn-out!

Registration got off to a start on Friday with students bussing in from a variety of local schools and flying in from as far away as Colorado. 

Pretty soon the auditorium was full and pitches from a variety of sponsors including SendGrid and Twilio began. Mashery was on site doing double-duty for both Intel IoT technologies in the form of Intel Edison and Mashery's API Network evangelism.

Once the pitches were done, teams formed up and the hacking got started. Mashery began interviewing qualified student teams to receive Intel Edison boards. Given the limited supply of devices and large number of student developers, only the most serious hardware hackers got access to devices and sensor kits. The results were impressive.

Teams who decided to build using Mashery APIs were awarded some of our signature black "GET /Mashery" shirts. This team, Cherry Picks, included Christina Heinich, Julia Eng, Chris Watts and Rohan Ahuja and wound up using the Mashery BestBuy API to create a product for helping people decide which electronic gadgets to buy.

On the more creative end of the spectrum was this "Fog Column" 3D projector which a group of students built to generate live videos inside a container crafted from Amazon shipping boxes.

Here is the projector in action.

As a fun side-show to the actual hacking itself, I ran a series of 6 min-challenges which developers could solve by answering tricky questions using Mashery API calls. Each large room had it's own challenge and a total of 72 students participated over the course of the weekend. Winners received a Basis watch. Judson Frampton was one of them.

Throughout the event, students came by the Mashery booth to get pointers on Python, Android, Ruby on Rails and Angular.js development from our mentors.

Intel Edison was a massive hit, students (including the Sign ++ team pictured above) came up with some extremely creative projects making use of Arduino and hand-gestures to translate sign language into text in real time.  Payam Ghobadpour, Kelley Sheffield, Andrew Thieck and Madeleyne Vaca were the students making up this team.

Sign ++ went through multiple prototyping stages starting like this...

And winding up like this. 

After two days of hacking, the teams assembled to show off their projects, of which there were over 100.

Team Syncsp.in built a fascinating real-time Node.js application using the Beats Music Platform. This application ran across browsers and mobile handsets and allowed DJs to track the excitement of the audience based on how much they danced during the music (via the phone accelerometer). Team members included Liam Sargent, Dawson Botsford, Tim Hyon and Ian Macalinao.

Team Crowd Computing with Adam Yost and Jonathan Egbert created a platform for running Hadoop tasks using Intel Edison devices. 

Team KINA's (Andrew Feng, Jake Walsh, Richard Ho, Chi-Kan Cheung) application made creative use of Intel Edison in combination with an Edison box to demonstrate an air-typing mechanism using wearable sensors. 

Team HomeHacker created a home automation solution using a combined mobile phone and door lock powered by Intel Edison (Thomas Mezaros and  Harsha Nori).

Calla Carter won a red Mashery shirt for her perseverance, she lost her voice  (and team) and still managed to build an entire application called "Who to Hoot" using the Best Buy API.

Team Smelectric Blanket (Amy Shu, Christopher Jwang, Liuxizi Xu) created a fancy electric blanket using Intel Edison and the IoT Sensor Kit which allows users to manage their temperature with a combined mobile application. 

Sruti Modekurty presented TempAlert (with Edison), an application to help avoid accidentally leaving infants and animals in overheating cars. 

Cherry Picks with their app on the judging floor. 

Team PickMeUp with Kevin Jasieniecki  and Keagan MccClelland built an application using Mashery's JamBase API to send an UBER cab to transport folks showing signs of sadness to a nearby concert to cheer them up.

Finally, once all the judging was done - eager attendees migrated to the main auditorium to see the results of the final sessions.

HackGT was a great event for Mashery, PickMeUp (who used JamBase) won the entire event including tens of thousands of dollars in prizes.

Syncsp.in won the Mashery award for best use of a Mashery API, in this case, the Beats Platform.

Team Sign++ won the best use of Intel technology award for their sign language and gesture interpreting glove.
