First, Why you are here???
For me, i'm trying to develop with twitter api for fun and learning.
Now i know more about php that a month ago. I'm doing this with the
hope of doing a best site that twitter, giving more options to
cuztomize to the user and new services (and the hope of winning some
money).

Start with simple code. I'm using php and the "Rest Api" from twitter.
At the moment i can put my "friends_timeline" on a php page and
compare username and passwords to make a login.

see ya!!

[twitter-dev] Re: using Twitter API with PHP

[chepe263]

Listen, the first place to start is the twitter api documentation. At
the beginning i didn't understant the api but when i read a lot about
cURL and twitter api on the net everything got sense. What i really
recomend is understand the SimpleXML in php. Helps a lot with xml
format api.

I hope this can be useful
