   When I'm working on an API design from scratch I like to mock-up a program using the API even before I get to code. It can be as simple as a handwritten example. I find it a good way to get a "feel" for how the main parts of the API will wo

   I was surprised to read "Assuming they would read my demo page this time, I spent all of my time focusing on the demo instead of the application" given the start of the application form specifically says "We look at online demos only for th
