Developers using PIKA Technology’s MonteCarlo Software Development Kit (SDK) soon will enjoy a new feature being added to the product: a high-level application programming interface (API).
High-level APIs reduce the complexity involved in developing software, resulting in faster time-to-market.
“PIKA strives to make it easier and faster for designers to write applications,” the company’s Vice President of Technology and Operations, Doug Petty, said in a press release.
Petty added: “To provide even more flexibility and customization capabilities, the high level API is open source. This will allow the developer to make modifications, depending on their application.”
PIKA’s MonteCarlo SDK will continue to include a low-level API as well.
“We’re very pleased to provide the best of both APIs to our customers,” the company’s Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Customer Care, Terry Atwood, said in the release.
The high-level API, dubbed Grand Prix, will be available as part of the MonteCarlo SDK by the end of June, 2006, PIKA said.
