We'll be running our inaugural REST API meetup in San Francisco!
Join DreamFactory and chat about APIs with us the evening of June 2nd. Head of Product Ben Busse will be giving a brief technical overview of how DreamFactory approaches REST APIs for SQL, NoSQL, and file storage. He'll present common API recipes, including filter strings, relational joins, connecting databases with virtual foreign keys, sorting and pagination, server-side validation, and lightweight API orchestration. We'll have an additional guest speaker and food and drinks as well!
Full schedule and RSVP on Meetup.com: https://www.meetup.com/DreamFactoryAPI/events/230878018/
Hope to see you there!
