The Idea
I had a brilliant idea yesterday, and couldn’t wait to get home so I could start coding it. Things were moving along great. I had my database created, I’d gotten Code Igniter configured and running with my standard set of libraries, helpers, etc. and I was hammering away at some code.
Damnation
And then it happened. I got to the heart and soul of the application: the part that interacted with the NewsGator API. Almost instantly, my entire world crashed in around me.
What’s that? You’ve never dealt with the NewsGator API? Consider yourself lucky. Only murderers and rapists should be doomed to such a fate. The NewsGator API is by far, and without a doubt, the worst API I have ever dealt with - and I’ve dealt with quite a few in the past.
