Hello from Fort Lauderdale where I'm attending a very successful IT Expo and IOT Evolution. Both events are packed with attendees, speakers and exhibitors, and both are buzzing with the news of the new event scheduled for July 18-21st in Las Vegas, All About The API. Today I moderate a Keynote Panel about API's at 10 AM, and then head back to the "warmer" left coast…..Check out today's stories…….
