We developers love a good API. If you aren’t sure what an API is, be sure to check out this lovely page on wikipedia about them. API stands for application programming interface, and it allows developers like us to tie our code to different services that are already built.

In this blog post I’ll give you a quick example of working with the Twitter API, to show you just how easy it is to work with.
