Boyan is a developer and his day to day work involves mostly PHP, JavaScript and lately quite a lot of Ruby. When he doesn’t write code he tries to be as involved in the community as possible. He is the organizer of the PHP Varna user group, co-organizer of VarnaJS and supporter of the local hackerspace and other user groups in the city.
Imagine a world where the mobile development team is not constantly surprised by changing endpoints, where frontend developers don’t abuse your carefully crafted APIs and we don’t have to go back again and again to fix or change stuff.

Together we will explore OpenAPI as a standard way to describe APIs and see how it can help us get there.
