6. What Are APIs? APIs are your public face to the

   developers of the world. They are the gatekeepers to your data and the heart of your applications. They can give control and they can take it away... think wisely about your choices. Friday, June 8, 2012

7. More Formally? APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) bridge applications, providing a

   standardized method for interaction. A contract of request and response makes them useful. Documentation is their guidebook. Friday, June 8, 2012
