General Guidelines for new Developers

[sandovalg]

Might I suggest a simple walk-through guiding the beginner developers. There are questions like this one http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28100315/how-to-retrieve-data-from-bigcommerce-using-rails-application where it seems help is not readily available.
A sample application that deals with one specific area of the API might be a blessing to new developers. An example in mind would be the ability to CRUD a product from a new demonstration store.
Initial setup for Private and Public Applications, etc.

Great idea! We have a hello-world library written in sinatra over here: https://github.com/bigcommerce/hello-world-app-ruby-sinatra

That should be a good guide to get started, we also have an open pull request to integrate the new version of the API client. Also take a look at our developer portal for more high level information: https://developer.bigcommerce.com/.

I would love to have a very simple process to get developers writing applications, so if you run into any problems, feel free to ping me here.

Should we close this now @sandovalg @pedelman ?

Good question. I think this is best to begin collaboration on immediately. How can I help? The problem with the ruby-sinatra app is adding in another element. Correction, replacing a framework with a specific DSL.

If help is required let me know. Much appreciated. To answer @gregory question, shall we close this thread?
