This is a fabulous infographic explaining a little about APIs. You can also check out the info at wikipedia on APIs.
APIs may not seem important to you know, but they are what makes much of the internet magic you experience happen. And that same magic is coming to eLearning. If you've heard anything about project TinCanAPI then you are already ahead of the curve. In order to understand the importance of something like TinCan you must first get a clear understanding of APIs.

I LOVE infographics, although have yet to learn how to create one (on my to do list). Hadn't heard of the term API before but you Wikipedia link informed me (Application Programming Interface). I love API's too!
Interesting post - thanks for sharing
