Life As An Evangelist

ProgrammableWeb is one of my favorite sites. If you haven’t been there, it’s an aggregation of all the various APIs that exist. Everything from Twitter’s API to an API from the USGS that gives you elevation of a point based on latitude and longitude (they even had APIs for the On AIR Bus). So I was happy to see that they recently hit 1,000 Web APIs. That’s good for the web and good for developers.

For those of you on the ActionScript side of things, Ted has been putting together a list of ActionScript Cloud APIs. It’s not close to the 1,000 that ProgrammableWeb has, but that list of ActionScript libraries will get you started using some of the many APIs that ProgrammableWeb has. If you know of some that aren’t on that list, make sure to leave a comment at the bottom of the page.
