This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
Welcome! This is the first "serious" programming challenge in the Webcraft 101 series, and is meant to take you through some important and exciting web programming concepts.
Like all challenges, this challenge is not meant to teach you what you need to complete it, but rather to provide a means for you to demonstrate (and practice) important skills through guided exercises. Some people have already picked up these skills, while others are using the challenge to guide their peer-based or personal study. It's all up to you.
You can take as long as you like to complete the challenges. But keep in mind that research shows it helps to set aside dedicated time when learning new things, and to keep a consistent pace. An exciting side-effect is that often, a fuzzy kind of virtual cohort emerges when several people are actively involved in the challenge. Who knows, you might find yourself being swept along in the excitement :).
To complete this first task, introduce yourself, say a few things about your background ("total n00b" is just fine!), and feel free to share any fears or questions you have about taking the challenge.
Welcome to Programming with APIs!
I've done a webapp in ASP.NET that posts updates to twitter on a few different accounts.
total n00b! I wanna learn new things and expand myself! There is more to life than sales :)
pretty much a total n00b
learned basics from codecademy love it!
beta tested for codecademy's twitter API task really didn't learn from it
hope to sweat it here
Hi, I worked with the Twitter API in a few projects, now I want to improve my skills
Hi yall, I'm a new and don't fully understand what's going on. I have some knowledge on html and I would love to master java scripting
This may not be clear to everyone but using JavaScript alone as your programming interface to the twitter API restricts what methods you can use to those that do not involve authenticaion. So using JavaScript alone you can for example search and display various twitter infomation that does not require logging in. However, to use other methods that require authentication you have to use a server side language such as php, ruby, python. This is because twitter uses oauth for authentication and using only client side JavaScript will thwart the security oauth offers.

I'm a noob to twitter api, and would love to understand it. I know some basic javascript. but we will see where this takes me
Hi, I got no knowlege what so ever on web development, but I'm willing to learn
hi everyone,
uhm, am new to this kind of prodramming, but i want to learn, yeah
Hi everyone!
Only used the Twitter API for some simple OAuth stuff, looking forward to learning more. Starting to do more web based programming so need lots of practice with good web API's.
Heeey everyone. I've already got slight knowledge of the Twitter API, as I've hacked together some PHP scripts in the past :)
Enjoy your Endeavours!
I'm Jessica and have been doing web stuff for a while but haven't done much with the Twitter API. Excited to try my hand at it while doing one of the first advanced challenges on P2PU :)
Hi, im Osledy Im a web developer with experience in ruby and php I want to learn pyhton and this course seems a good example to apply what I learn.
alreet, i'm jonny and i'm really not sure what to expect in this, hoping that it'll lead to some new found understanding as i've worked with the twitter api before but in a limited capacity though i did get my tweets to post my web name and link instead on twitter tools from my old wordpress site so anything on thoses lines or a start into that would be great.
good luck to you all
Hi, I'm Kid. I am interested to learn programming since young but I just don't know where to start. So here am I trying to find ways to learn. Wish me luck :)
Hello!
My name is Seslie. I am completely new to the ENTIRE programming world. Noob? ...definitely. I hope to grasp a better understanding of programming ...hence the reason I am writing this. :)
iam here to learn programming as am an outlander to the programming with little skills
I'm currently a college student taking a degree in Information Systems :)
I went to google "how to learn programming languages" and found this site.. hopefully it'll become a way for me to excel in my class :D
