# Recording of API documentation workshop in Denver
> I recently gave a half-day API workshop in Denver on March 10, 2018. Topics in the workshop included how to document reference API content (endpoints, parameters, requests, etc.), what non-reference topics (for example, status and error codes, rate limiting, getting started, sample apps) are common, how to create an OpenAPI specification document and Swagger UI output, and more. You can view a recording of the workshop, browse the slides, and listen to the audio here. Because of the length, the content is divided into three parts.

## Workshop activities

The activities we followed in the workshop are listed on the [Workshop activities](/learnapidoc/workshop-activities.html) page in my [API documentation course](/learnapidoc/).

## Video recordings

The recording of the workshop is divided into three parts. Each of these sections includes a video recording, audio file, and slides.

**Part I**:

**Part II**:

**Part III**:
