| Box decided early on it wanted to be a platform on top of which which developers can build applications using Box services. Today, it introduced several new tools designed to make it easier for developers to get up and running on the Box platform.
Today’s announcement starts with a newly designed Box Developer Console. This is the place developers typically grab their API keys and get started. Box has streamlined the experience by adding some typical developer paths to help guide users based on their preferences. This was introduced at the company’s Boxworks customer conference last fall, but it’s being made available in an open Beta today.
The API Navigator is an entirely new tool designed to simplify using the Box APIs. Typically, a developer decides to use a platform, reads some documentation, downloads some sample code and gets familiar with the toolset. The company was looking to streamline that process, and the Navigator uses a split screen view to present documentation and code together in one interface.
Finally, there is a new set of interactive documentation, which not only provides the instructions you would expect in a documentation set, but also includes code samples in a split screen view, so developers can just copy, paste and adapt the code as needed. The documentation has also been designed to allow the community to suggest new instruction by submitting them to Box, which will review the suggestion and publish it if approved. |
