And I would add that SDKs are what Open APIs are, APIs opened to developers to call and use in their application.

And with regards to open source and open apis, I find it a joke when many companies (and even countries) rally to the call for open source in Windows (or for that matter the OS), when in fact, most businesses are only interested in Open APIs / SDKs. I mean, seriously, why would any other businesses be interested in extending the OS when many are even out-sourcing the development of business applications?

Honest to heart, between MS and the various successful software companies out there, I dare say that MS’s SDK documentation is one of the most comprehensive in the Software industry.

Again, great article! Thanks for the read!

Happy New Year and have a great year ahead! :)

Mail API (the one when they said we were giving away the underlying code), several people literally had a heart attack. Monday morning, after Open Hack Day weekend, we were explaining to people that the article didn’t quite get it right and that we weren’t giving away any code aside from a simple PHP SDK to make it easier to get started writing an application.

Good times. :)
