<H2 CLASS="pf-content">ABOUT THE WEBINAR</H2>
Do you have an interest or experience working on Application Programming Interface (API) documentation? If yes, then this webinar is for you! In this webinar, you will learn from industry giant, Tom Johnson, about API tools, workflows, challenges, and best practices, which are quite distinct from other types of documentation commonly produced by technical writers.
Tom will compare developer documentation trends (gathered from his <A HREF="https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.questionpro.com%2Fa%2FTakeSurvey%3Ftt%3DqYKAPa%252BvYY4%253D&data=02%7C01%7CTavia.Record%40wwt.com%7C71bf4936c0b04502e2fa08d794cc7e7f%7Ca2d8e6b4e26e44218f3dec288c827c7d%7C1%7C0%7C637141478344940711&sdata=dv8c2nPCj3ONaO3xNIPRCjxafX%2BS9FtF%2BxXYnrtabks%3D&reserved=0" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">API Survey</A>) with other more general trends in tech comm (from other industry surveys). The comparison of tools, workflows, and other practices should provide an interesting perspective into the unique world of dev docs. Get involved, and <A HREF="https://www.questionpro.com/a/TakeSurvey?tt=qYKAPa%2BvYY4%3D" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">respond to Tom's survey</A> by March 1, 2020.
