The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Writing to an API, especially the first one, can be traumatic (speaking from personal experience).
There are a lot of excellent sources, but the two best (that I have found, anyway) are:
Scott Klement's web site (www.scottklement.com/presentations/) which, among lots of other stuff, has a handout on API programming. When Scott gave the presentation at our LUG a few years ago, I saw light bulbs going off all over the room.
The other is Bruce Vining's book "API's at Work" which, if you order it from here (
http://store.midrange.com/) helps David defer some of the expenses of keeping us connected.
Thanks.

Granted, I'm not a programmer (expect CL) but I don't think
I've heard "API" mentioned once in the ten years I've been
here. I've have heard "free" (as in RPG), WDSC, subfiles,
chain, etc but not API. Are we in the Stone Age?
Any other shops out there that don't use API's?
Errr... Us?
I think I feel a <my first API> post coming on.
