I honestly I am so grateful for your videos.
I have studied at 2 universities and you are a better teacher than most of my professors.

Keep up the good job and thank you for your work!

Short Terms:

SDK = Code to Code to consume functionalities.

API = No Code access required. Consume directly by network calls.

Seems like sdk is something like an API to the API, or at least has those qualities. Would that be a fair notion?

[takshpatel]

thank you for the whole informative video.
just 1 clarification,
API are like some tech dependent like HTTP or win os,
so if some has to use that they also need to learn few things about that tech on which it is developed.
and SDKs are written programming language like js/java/python so it is better for developers to just directly use those functions which will do whatever is necessary.

but till now everybody wrote apis, and now for better developer exp they need something different, so
most of the sdks are like wrappers of existing apis.
am i correct?

Please make a video on opensearch getting bill even i have deleted all the services related to opensearch

[andriys]

Thank you!
I think we can compare SQL for relational databases and ORM for them (Sequelize for JS or Django ORM for Python) with API and SDK accordingly, right?

[vimalneha]

excellent! Certainly you are a better dev :-)

[emirhan]

i really know i will understand these really well in someday but today it's so confusing

[rainron]

Does it mean the Api can be a component of a sdk? 😊
