WireHose Developer Center

Where to start

If you want to find out how easy it is to build applications with WireHose, the best place to start is with the WireHose Developers Guide. It leads you through the process of developing a personalizable news aggregator, and discusses the overall architecture of a WireHose application, key portions of the WireHose API, and the use of WireHose tools. You can also download a printable version.
