  The fascinating world of API with which you can able integrate one service with another is one of my areas of interest, Well the ease of learning via Web by login from anyplace,anytime made me interested in joining P2PU.org , So I am signing up to participate where i can collobarate with my peers on the subject and enhance my knowledge on the subject.

  Since its been organised as a P2P course which will let the participant share knowledge between the learner and the learning process will be quite fast.

  I will definately help with my time if required to the study group which will help in making this concept more popular in the coming years.

   

  Looking forward to have a great learning experience.

  Thanks

  What made you interested in this topic? What do you hope to achieve by participating?

  I use a lot of APIs and want to explore the creation of them. I also create web services (Java usually) and am interested in learning more about "best practices."

  It'd be great if we can create one as a final project for the group -- maybe some for P2PU.
