Anne Gentle, Cisco DevNet | DevNet Create 2019
summary
DevNet describes how documentation and tooling scale real APIs: the site builds from 1000–2000 GitHub repos and publishes machine-readable specs plus human tutorials using OpenAPI-driven docs and a three-column layout inspired by Stripe. Learning labs and developer.cisco.com/startnow drive the most traffic (GitHub, REST API, Python). A concrete win: a continuous glucose monitor exposes data via a REST API every five minutes so a parent monitors a child in real time (continuous glucose monitor API every five minutes). Creator awards track year-over-year community projects.
