MatthiasEttrich's talk at aKedemy 2004 about Qt API was interesting: http://ktown.kde.org/akademy/Matthias_Ettrich_Designing_Qt-style_APIs_audio.ogg http://ktown.kde.org/akademy/Matthias_Ettrich_Designing_Qt-style_APIs_video.ogg He emphasis that with a good API, you should not need to lookup the documentation to read and understand what a program does.
One of the best bad example is the use of boolean as arguments.
