Ask HN: How to design and structure a framework/api

9 pointsby safetyscissorsvor 15 Jahren2 comments

Hi everyone :)

I'm interested in creating a framework/API.

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.

Thank you :)
