In the ongoing quest to finish Mac OS X 10.6, Apple has officially frozen the Snow Leopard API’s. Â For those that don’t know this, that is a good thing, and allows the developers to know for certain that the API’s that they are testing with are what will be shipped.
What’s an API? Â Advanced Programming Interface. Â In other words, a programmer can call any of the “hooks” in the API, to perform specific functions (ie. Â Play Music, display a graphic, etc). Â Since those API’s are now frozen they can be assured that they are using the finalized hooks into the core of the OS.
