[Podcast] Breaking ground: New API documentation course at UW, with Bob Watson
In this podcast, I chat with <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/docsbydesign/'>Bob Watson</a> about an upcoming <a href='https://www.pce.uw.edu/specializations/api-documentation'>API documentation course</a> he'll be teaching at the <a href='https://www.pce.uw.edu/'>University of Washington</a>. Bob has extensive experience working as an API technical writer at big tech companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. The UW reached out to Bob to develop this new course offering. The 14-week evening course will cover fundamentals like understanding developer behaviors, working with various types of APIs, publishing workflows, as well as hands-on practice. A key component is having students create API documentation portfolios they can use to demonstrate their skills.
