Google is the king of this, of course, so this Google tech talk will give you a glimpse of their secrets. http://www.itworld.com/internet/69646/how-design-good-api#comments Development Internet Tip API Google Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:43:06 -0400 ITworld staff 69646 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/saas/68215/saas-vendors-need-get-clue-about-apis One big obstacle to SaaS vendors getting their applications adopted more widely is that so many of them don't offer open APIs. http://www.itworld.com/saas/68215/saas-vendors-need-get-clue-about-apis#comments Development SaaS SOA News API interop Wed, 20 May 2009 15:02:19 -0400 ITworld staff 68215 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/development/67029/facebook-opens-activity-stream-external-developers Highlighting the rising popularity of real-time action notifications in social networks, Facebook will let external developers access the "activity stream" its members display on their profiles. http://www.itworld.com/development/67029/facebook-opens-activity-stream-external-developers#comments Development News API Facebook Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:12:45 -0400 ITworld staff 67029 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/development/57944/ribbit-opens-web-telephony-platform-all-developers Ribbit Monday released for general availability its Web telephony platform, designed to extend telephony development to the world's Web developers through the use of its APIs. http://www.itworld.com/development/57944/ribbit-opens-web-telephony-platform-all-developers#comments Development News API IP telephony Ribbit voip Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:35:57 -0500 ITworld staff 57944 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/development/57797/microsoft-releases-new-api-windows-live-search Microsoft Thursday unveiled a revamped Live Search API that developers can use to embed search on Web sites. http://www.itworld.com/development/57797/microsoft-releases-new-api-windows-live-search#comments Development News API Live Search Microsoft search Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:00:39 -0500 ITworld staff 57797 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/api-data-format-nlstipsm-080306 Normally in enterprise application integration, when we say "send X to Y", there are two distinct aspects to be ironed out. The first is the "how" part. The second is the "what" part. When thinking of the "how" part, thoughts turn to things like interfaces and APIs and function calls and so on. When thinking of the "what" part, thoughts turn to things like strings and tables and integers and data structures. All successful examples of interconnecting A and B in EAI feature both "how" and "what". Unfortunately, the two can get terribly inter-twined leading to integration strategies that are difficult to develop, deploy and debug. http://www.itworld.com/api-data-format-nlstipsm-080306#comments Software How-to API data format temporal coupling Thu, 06 Mar 2008 20:46:05 -0500 jnaze 873 at http://www.itworld.com
