Not your Uncle Bert's APIs, or the case for standardizing APIs
I remember the early days of the Web, when we were digging through Open Source like dwarves in Moria seeking the jewels and precious ore of APIs. Striking gold meant that you could actually sell a less painful integration project to a potential customer. These precious APIs were as rare and rough as naturally-occurring diamonds. Fast-forward twenty years and API production is skyrocketing. What happened? First, Open Source teams realized that it was no longer enough to drop their tarballs online and expect adoption. Every software project today is most likely an integration project and it requires an API. Second, even propriety solutions, like Apple's app environment, Azure, AWS or Android don't exist in a vacuum. Not only do they need to let developers look under the hood, but they have to connect to other environments. Third, in case you didn't know, we've entered the API economy. Heard of the Internet of Things (IoT)? Trillions of connected devices need their own interface to the network. No APIs, no IoT. Read more...
