How can you want to know about "API" when you don't even know what the word means? |

I want to believe that forums are places you can come with questions you want to find answers to and not to be questioned back. Well it amazes me that someone wanted to know what API is and ends up be made to look like a dump who knows nothing. i think it is a bad idea. Well to my best knowledge API stands for Application Programming Interface, depending on what programming language you are dealing with i means different things, in the world of desktop application development, it is a collection of dlls or function or method or classes that you call from your own defined function or classes to do certain stuff you can not do on your own. For instance there system services you would want to access from your own codes, you do not gain access to such services directly rather they have a well defined interface through which you can access them, pass parameters to them and get feedback from them. In this context ,the word Interface means the only available point through which you can gain access to the underlying collection of codes. In the world of web development, API means a set of classes or methods or functions you have defined or some else has defined and are sure the always work as expected and can handle errors in away that is clearly defined. This set of classes or methods or functions could be stored away in a server so that others can access this methods in a standard way to get some stuff done. This can either commercialized or open to the public. a good working example of what APIs means and can do ,can be found in the google code room at www.code.google.com, there are various APIs there. browse it and find out for yourself what APIs are perhaps you can be inspired from them |

It's as if he thinks API is a programming language. Clearly a school assignment. |
