What can API Connect do for you? IBM API Connect is a comprehensive, streamlined management solution that addresses all aspects of the API lifecycle. You can move from API creation to API consumption with ease, shortening development cycles and accelerating application creation. Letâs take a closer look at each stage of the API lifecycle:
colleague - a person who is member of one's class or profession; the surgeon consulted his colleagues; he sent e-mail to his fellow hackers. confrere, fellow. associate - a person who joins with others in some activity or endeavor; he had to consult his associate before continuing.
To me, the difference depends on how well you know that person you're working with. A colleague is somebody that you know well enough that you'd spend time with them outside of work, somebody that shares the same interests, thoughts as you. A co-worker is somebody you happen to work with, but not in a close relationship sort of way. For example, a colleague you'd invite over for a gathering or a party of sorts, a co-worker is somebody you interact with mainly at work, and no other place really, unless you happen to cross paths outside of work.
