A paradigm is a different way to solve problems. We can link the concept of a paradigm to the concept of a map, since to get from one point to another, we have an infinite number of paths we can choose… and the paradigm is responsible for telling us where to go to get from […]
What are APIs? This is what you need to know to take advantage of them.
An API (Application Programming Interface) is an interface that allows apps and software programs to communicate and share data. APIs can be public or private.
