Need a map for your site? Don't code your own ? use an API! APIs let you talk to other web apps like Google Maps and Twitter so that you don't have to build from scratch. Simply borrow another app's functionality with an API. Easy. Learn how to create a web app that can: - Send text messages with Twilio - Pull videos from YouTube - Search for songs on SoundCloud - Get the latest stories from NPR The possibilities are as wide as the sky. More info here: http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/apis Cheers!
