We're nearing the Friday deadline
for accepting applications to our NEH-funded API workshop, so this is
your last chance to apply!
The Maryland
Institute for Technology in the Humanities will host a two-day workshop
on developing APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) for the digital
humanities.
http://mith.umd.edu/apiworkshop/
The workshop will gather 40-50 digital humanists, who along with
industry leaders will demonstrate their APIs during this “working
weekend.” We will discuss ways that existing and future APIs could be
leveraged for digital humanities projects.
The workshop format will consist of morning
presentations and afternoon unconferencing. We’ll also schedule time for
lightning talks. Some participants may seek to explore hands-on hacking
of APIs following presentations; others may want to discuss ways that
they could use an existing API. The workshop will include participants
of varying skill levels and technical knowledge, and engage both
developers and project managers. Once the participant list is finalized,
we plan to kick-off a discussion online before the workshop so that
we’re ready to make the best use of our afternoon unconference time.
We invite those interested in participating to apply for the workshop by January 14th.
http://mith.umd.edu/apiworkshop/apply/ Participants will be notified shortly after the deadline. Due to limited space, we can accommodate 40-50 participants.
