...API...
copio e incollo da WIRED;
If Grandmaster Flash had been a computer programmer, he would have loved the open API movement. Just as the famed DJ took existing music and reinterpreted it to create something new, developers use open APIs to interconnect, extend, and reshape software. Application programming interfaces are sets of rules that govern how apps exchange information; when left open, they invite outsiders to harness that data. When Google decided to publish its Maps app with an open API, it launched a thousand mashups as developers created everything from pedometers to toilet locators. Now open APIs power customized calendars, personalized banking, and an army of desktop widgets. The Net is your turntable.
