You just don’t get to build relationships with these global leaders from the developer/app program space at @Xero, @HubSpot, @facebook and Antler if you’re sitting in your office coding. Get out and get to events like #XD19 for insights, relationships, and ultimately growth.

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

Where else would you get such intimate access to the heads of developer partnerships for Xero, Facebook, HubSpot and Antler all in one place?! So glad I’m here #XD19

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

Wow, Xero is doing some really innovative things to support their app partners including App Advisory Courses for accountants to show them how to best recommend app stacks for their clients #XD19

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

Interesting to look back on the evolution of a product to a platform with Xero at #XD19 with Kaye Harding

It wasn’t that long ago that I was googling “What is an API, what is OAuth, what is a webhook” and now I’m sitting in an OAuth 2.0 session at #XD19 and keeping up with all the jargon. Still a lot to learn but so nice to understand the lingo!

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

OAuth 2.0 preview with Ken Santoso coming up at #XD19. Time to really geek out now!

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

Matt Bunston sharing some insights re how to grow fast the HubDoc way at #XD19 (haven’t we all done a demo like this?!)

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

Whoa! These preso’s at #XD19 are like geek speed dating. Quick, straight to the point and high value - love it!

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

Jenks Guo is talking about building apps for resilience at #XD19 and it ain’t all code and webhooks

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

“Your first API call should look just like your millionth” - scalability is essential when building API’s - @dalanmiller @stripe #XD19

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

“In 2019 you can start a SaaS product, connect to Xero, connect to Stripe and have your first paid customer by the end of the week!” @dalanmiller #XD19

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

@dalanmiller from @stripe brings API’s into the modern age at #XD19 (I love Stripe BTW - just sayin’)

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

Jenks Guo @fortyfire covered a hell of a lot in such a short time at #XD19 - Gold!

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

“Xero is a small business platform and if you’re reaching the API limits you need to consider if your integration is suitable for that small business.” Jenks Guo #XD19

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

For Xero App devs the Xero API team are building all the hard stuff on your behalf so you can focus on the last mile of UX - #XD19

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

OAuth 2 will require specific scopes when requesting Xero app access. Makes sense to me! #XD19

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

“You can now create OAuth2 clients in the development portal” for Xero - WOOT WOOT #XD19

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

Whooohooo! oAuth2 comes to Xero API’s at #XD19

[Samantha Alford @SamAlfordTweets]

So excited to be among my geek peeps at #XD19
