Learning APIs?
Any advice for someone who's read "learning to process", created an app, but is struggling to understand API's?
Even when I look at API "documentation" I'm left completely disoriented and confused. It seems like a huge logical leap from understanding basic programming or even making a self-contained app.
Any tips for making the jump?

Hard to answer general vs. specific questions, but you might want to be clear on what APIs are in general -- then any given API should be less disorienting.
