Ask HN: How to design and structure a framework/api

Hi everyone :) I'm interested in creating a framework/API. I was wondering if there are any books, references or advice that I could use as a starting point and things that I should keep in mind. Thank you :)

How about this to start? "How To Design A Good API and Why it Matters" -- a great talk by Joshua Bloch (also the author of "Effective Java") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAb7hSCtvGw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAb7hSCtvGw
