Online platforms refer to programs that can be modified by users to suit their needs and applications. They allow users to create and access web content like text, images and videos remotely over the internet. Common online platforms include APIs, which define how software interacts, and cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox and Evernote, which store files online. Mapping applications like Google Maps and Wikimapia provide maps and location data to users.

ACCESS API – runs in a remote machine,
server, or computer, and the
application is accessed remotely by a
guest user application to draw data and
services.

7. API Types and Functions
PLUG-IN API – different developers
create different applications that can be
integrated or “plugged in” to a core
application and/or the GUI of these
applications

8. API Types and Functions
RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT – these APIs
are platforms for developing different
applications, wherein programs or
applications codes are evaluated and
compiles in the said APIs

9. Common Web sites that use
Plug-in APIs
YouTube
Flickr
Twitter
Facebook
Google Maps

10. Web Design Principles
and Elements
 Purpose
 Communication
