❂ APIs For Dummies, Apigee Special Edition ❂
by Sharif Nijim (Author) Brian Pagano (Author)
Learn to:
Use APIs as the foundation for your digital business platform
Meet rising customer expectations across multiple channels
Spur innovation, both internally and externally
Do you wear a Fitbit or Nike FuelBand? Have you ever used a Twitter or Facebook app or bought anything online? Do you use Google Analytics? If the answer is “yes” to any of these, you’re already benefiting from APIs. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are the foundation on which the digital economy is built.
Our special edition, "APIs for Dummies," demystifies APIs, going beyond the acronym to help you understand their strategic significance, as well as providing insight into how they can help your business.
I bought this book to understand the business value and operational aspects behind why APIs are needed. I have used APIs in my Netsuite-Zuora-Salesforce integration projects and in my work with the Google Analytics API.
This book is fantastic. The reader needs to be a little technical (I have rudimentary Python and JavaScript skills which I learned on my own - I will NOT call myself a coder, but I can understand some code written in these languages). Even if you are not technical at all, as long as you are willing to do a few Google or Wikipedia searches to understand one or two concepts you may not know, this is still a great read.
