Hi everyone :)<p>I'm interested in creating a framework/API.<p>I was wondering if there are any books, references or advice that I could use as a starting point and things that I should keep in mind.<p>Thank you :)
How about this to start? "How To Design A Good API and Why it Matters" -- a great talk by Joshua Bloch (also the author of "Effective Java")<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAb7hSCtvGw" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAb7hSCtvGw</a>
