APIs

Application Program Interface ( API ) is a  piece of code. API is a part of Computer Software. The API code serves to connect. It provides service. Simplification is achieved when service is performed. 

API code is used in a Computer Program. The Computer Program using API code becomes simple. The Programmer is saved from hard work. The Computer Program is reduced in size because the APIs perform a number of tasks. Through the good use of APIs the Computer Program is empowered to work with other programs.

We can say APIs connect a Computer Program, coded by a programmer with a number of other Programs.

Tasks performed by the APIs are not very specific to the main problem. But these tasks are essential to the solution generated by the Computer Program written by a Programmer.

The services provided by the APIs are termed to be of high quality. A Computer Programmer can make best use of Programming Skills seeking help of APIs that are provided by the Programming Language.

Software units are shaped using a set of APIs. APIs are used to develop Computer Applications. APIs are sometimes used to make Software Models. It is common to make use of a collection of APIs for a Programming effort.

Use of APIs gives us advantage. API based solutions can easily acquire a customer oriented appearance. Customer friendly solutions are the highlight of API usage. The convenience that results is valued.

API is an excellent place to look for in order to empower Computer Programs.

APIs are possessed with innumerable features. So, Computer Programmers can select the API based creations that can do the best.

Interface Message Processor ( IMP )

Interface Message Processor ( IMP ) is a special purpose Computer. The Processor plays a vital role in Host-to-Host communication. IMP is placed between Host Computers.  IMP helps Hosts to exchange information. IMPs ( Interface Message Processors ) form a group. The group dedicates itself towards reliable transmission of Packets. _________________________ Note: An Interface Message Processor can be supposed to have a face. Firstly this supposed face of IMP is in the direction of the first Host, which sends the  message. Secondly, this face is turned towards the other Host.  Now, the IMP,  with its face turned around, communicates with this other Host.  Transformed message from IMP is communicated to this Host. __________________________ Message ( a piece of information ) sent from the Host ( source of information  ) is transformed into Packets. Transformation of the message into Packets is performed by an IMP. These Packets are forwarded to the receiver H...

Understanding Distribution

Distributed presence means that more than one object is there. Also, these objects are situated at more than one location.  One object may establish communication with another object. The first object may deliver some message. The message can be received by another object. It can be said that object distribution is successful, as one object has succeeded in delivering a message. The second object has successfully received the message. Two objects are at a distance. Communication brings them closer. The successful communication has served to highlight that the idea of distribution is meaningful. Distribution helps exchange of information. Many different objects can form a group.  Two groups can occupy different locations.  It may happen that at a particular location there are several objects. But, all these objects talk among themselves.They talk among themselves and make things happen.  There is a resultant of this talk process. All the communicating objects  at...

Message Switching

Message is a piece of information. Switching means movement.  In a Network there are a number of nodes. Nodes are vital junctions of a Network. Message Switching means transmission from one node ( one point ) of a Network to another node ( another point ). So, transmission is from point to point. Transmission from one point to another point is a single hop ( jump ). Message Switching means switch over of a Message. In one step of Message Switching,  Message switches over from one node to another.  The two nodes involved in a Switching operation are on the same Network. It cannot be that the beginning node ( source node) is on one Network and the second node ( sink node ) is on a different Network. In a point to point ( one junction to another junction ) transmission, a Message travels a part of its journey. Message moves from previous point to next point. The Network is Point-to-Point Network. A Switching activity means movement of a message. Indeed, the Message has mov...
