Web APIs provide a mechanism for exposing business data and services for use by mobile devices, social networks, cloud-based systems or any other software. This presentation discusses how the state of today's APIs is roughly similar to the state of the websites of 1997, looking at how the evolution of websites can help us predict the evolution of APIs going forward. It provides a framework for thinking about the value of APIs and demonstrates how some leading API users have successfully deployed them to generate significant business value.
