Behind almost every successful web application, there is an easy-to-use & feature-rich API as they simply help the main application to spread into others & reached by more users.
Also, an API-enabled application can be easily developed further using the API itself.
In order to create an API for your web application, here are 10 tutorials to get you started. But before that, you may want to checkout the video: How To Design A Good API and Why it Matters by Google.
I’ve been doing web design for several years now and have had several sites in the past for my portfolio and client documentation. The newest website is ChaseWebDesign.net and it will be updated constantly as I progress in my work. I’ve been extremely busy this year with graphic design and web development so I’m pretty sure the site will fill-out pretty quickly and have some informative and useful content up there soon. I’ll also be making free themes for WordPress, Coppermine, and other popular PHP scripts. Webdes1gn.net will also be tied into ChaseWebDesign.net and moreso with Cha2e.com and a few other projects soon. Stay tuned!
Client Area & Documentation
One of the biggest things I’m working on at the moment is getting a good project management system setup and going for my design clients. An online visual indicator of the project progress is very assuring to a client and helpful for me because I won’t have to spend as much time on the phone explaining updates and progress when it will be all laid cleanly in the project manager.
Centralized Portfolio
For once, I’ll actually have a centralized portfolio with a large collection of my past work. I’ve done a lot of sites, banners, graphics, etc. over the years and it will be nice to have them all in one spot. It’ll also be inspiration/motivation to get new work done and expand my style and skills.
Found this great little guy for when I need a streaming video player for projects. You could write your own, but why spend the time and have less features? this little player is awesome!

Simple Viewer is always great for those minimalistic but uber-professional image galleries. Always loved for its visual impact.
