Why are we doing this?

Think carefully and try to answer the following questions:

  1. Define an interface? (Think about the answer in multiple contexts, including programming )
  2. Explain why do we need to use an interface in programming? (Advanced)
  3. List 3 things that are part of the NodeJS API
  4. List 3 things that are part of the Jest API
  5. List 3 things that are part of the Spotify API
  6. Explain why Jest is not a web-based API and why Spotify is a web-based API.

Great answers for 2 to 6 - I feel you have a good deal of conceptual clarity!

This is a follow up question for you to think about more than anything else: for question 1, can you think of interfaces in contexts other than computers? For e.g. if you plug in an HDMI cable (or maybe the think audio wire for older sets) into a television, is that an interface?
