Scripting Platforms

As we use more APIs to build web and mobile apps, there is a growing need to use multiple APIs at once, in a more fluid way--without the traditional overhead often associated with each individual API integration.

While anyone can script against a single API, there are new approaches evolving in developing scripting platforms that allow developers to abstract away oAuth and other authentication headaches, and simply programming against multiple APIs easier than using even a single API.

In this section I will be tracking on news and companies that are doing interesting things with scripting platforms, while also sharing blog analysis as well.
