Ask HN: Any book recommendations for API design?
Do you have any book recommendations for API design? I'm working for a company where data management was a mess and we have loads of systems that should be connected but are built completely seperate.
I'm looking for resources to help design a big change and move loads of systems over to APIs

Another excellent reference is the "The Linux Programming Interface" book by Michael Kerrisk that documents most of the API available under Linux [3].
