If you are not familiar with salesforce.com, I'd recommend you start by running through the tutorials and help available as part of your developer edition account; when you are familar with the concepts and processes of S3, your best bet is probably to run through the sample code available on this site.

I was refering to the tutorials on your developer edition account - when logged into S3, look for the help icon on the upper right part of your screen.

        Hi rassa,

        The best way to start developing sforce applications is by becoming familiar with salesforce.com.  You can do this using the tutorials that you found.

        The next step is to download the unit test samples from the resources section of the sforce website.  The samples include standalone apps that excercise one piece of the api at a time.  Of course, all the samples include login code and that is the first place to start.  I recommend the describer sample to become familiar with the xml parsing required for handling return values.  Our API currently has only 12 methods that you wil need to become familiar with so it shouldn't be very long before your task is one of application architecture rather that API implementation.
