The Albert Kahn Museum in France has just made available for download thousands of early autochrome photos from around the world: Kahn, a banker, had top French photographers travel the world documenting everyday aspects of global life which he believed would soon vanish as the world rapidly developed.

I'm Arnaud. I've been working on connecting pieces of software since the end of the 20th century. I like to share what I learn while studying and working in the API space.
I started blogging about web APIs under the API Handyman nickname in 2015, talked at a few conferences about APIs (most of the time with a pop culture twist), and wrote a book about the design of web APIs.
