What is an API? (Application Programming Interface)

is Linus a programmer?

I'm SHOCKED I've never heard of or tried Vulkan, I just got done playing DOOM 16 at ultra settings on a GTX 1050Ti at a solid 60fps

Why are his hands yellow?

please, repeat with me, "protocols are better than APIs"

Great 👍

epic linus moment :)

F4 please. ;-)

Cool Beans will always be around.

Linus really loves Cheetos.

After all these years, you still make great stuff, Linus

This video came recommended after watching the LTT preview of Intel's ARC GPUs, which they report perform great on Vulkan and DX12, but not so hot on all the titles that are still using DX11.

Let that sink in: this video is five years old and game makers are still dragging their heels moving to the new APIs.

Opengl is bugged for me

This is the best description video of API's I've found yet. Looking forward to sharing it with my class.

Don't clean your chips with alcohol , because drunk drivers are dangerous

thanks dear it was awesome

Dalam sekam ada api

Here in 2021. This was a great video in which he also refers two other really good informative videos!! Linus is great at what he does!!! Thanks man!

Jesus is King! If you do not know Jesus as Savior please pray, “ Jesus save me. At this moment I choose to have faith that You gave Your life for me and rose from the dead. Doing this You defeated death, even though it meant You had to die. You surrendered Your life for me, so I chose to surrender my life to You. Forgive me Jesus, my God. Amen.”

Jesus loves you so much. Please accept His love. I encourage you to read the Bible and pray.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten Son into this world, that whoever believes that in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16

🙏❤️🙏

Jesus is enough!

Again I tell you, Jesus loves you!

If you're a bash fan, then like yesterday! That's on point!

Everytime i learn about API's I get the concept instantly but its the acronym that messes up the understanding after a while.
can someone explain why do we call it "application programming interface" ? which app is getting "programmed" ? shouldn't it be more like application communication interface or something like that

you're still tediously left to type everything on the crappy OS known as Linux hahaha xD

I wish I could you them but they're connected with Paypal and paypal loves limiting accounts for no reason

And thats exectly why I refuse to look up things like this on Wikipedia.

f4

Sorry, but this just API is just another OS that talks to .......an OS??????????

"If you're a bash fan, then yesterday"

But how do I know which API is required for a computer program to work and is it only required to run a program or we can code a program without the API also? Which API required to run C/C++ code and which installed files are API?

OpenGL isnt a api, its a specification. Btw

Don’t BASH the old Dinosaur Operating System

Nvidia is such a terrible company it isn't even funny. You might as well be killing dolphins if you support them.

I miss Vodoo API

that was fun

Best Explanation Ever! ♥

The Facebook comments shade hits different in 2021...

who else got a linus ad on a linus video

All the fog is cleared up.. I now understand APIs. Cheers.

I code directly in opengl using glfw

There are some programs that have different looking close buttons,

"Amd or Nvidia graphic cards"
Me with my 64mb intel hd graphics: 🥲

Great video, but too short. Could you make a little bit more detailed video about this topic, huge please? :)

Thank GOD Linus did a video on this, because everybody else is talking shit.

thanks

I got API code from Adobe free, could they start charging for it or turn it off?

So basically, the mother code
