In this second chapter (following up to chapter 1), Berlind reviews the importance of API contracts and what it means for Web APIs to decouple API clients from API servers. And then he gives some real-world examples of how that decoupled nature of Web APIs affords some amazing flexibility to the organizations that pursue the idea of API-led application networks.

In the video, he make some important points about taking a DevOps-based approach to provisioning services; namely that all infrastructure should be provisioned with code that's written specifically to do the provisioning as opposed to manually going into the AWS console and fiddling with the various forms and parameters.

ProgrammableWeb editor-in-chief David Berlind interviews Telesign director of product management Vince Oh. While you may not have heard of Telesign, you have no doubt encountered its APIs as a customer of some enterprise that uses them to not only authenticate the legitimacy of new registrants, but also to drive improved customer engagement. One reason Telesign is able to do this is because of the information that's available to it as a subsidiary of BICS; one of the world's largest providers of global roaming solutions. In the course of providing those solutions, BICS is able to collect the sort of data (and route it to Telesign) that other SMS API providers (and cPaaSes) cannot easily access.

Fresh off the Salesforce.com's acquisition of the company he founded (MuleSoft), Ross Mason is now applying his entrepreneurial thinking to the burgeoning areas of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Mason has a theory -- one that makes perfect sense -- about how organizations that lack the right nervous systems (aka: API-led application networks) will not be able to fully leverage these new technologies. The result he says will be something like a "brain in a jar." Mason also discusses some of his favorite areas of AI and the responsibilities that go with bringing AI technology to the market.
