It’s alive!

I am proud to announce the launch of libpurple.com today (May 18, 2010)! What are we going to do, you ask? Well if you must know…

If you haven’t noticed already, there are very little resources out on the web to help new developers program with libpurple (which by the way is an instant messaging C library, for those of you who don’t know). So with such little help, what do you do? This is where we would like to come in.

As an experienced developer in libpurple (and many web programming languages and databases), I would like to share with everyone what I know about libpurple and how to use it in real applications. I plan on providing tutorials and how-to’s written for normal people in layman’s terms so that everyone and anyone could understand it. Also, with our blog-like interface, I hope to get some potential contributions from other users as well.

In short, we want to be your #1 resource for instant message application programming tutorials and how-to’s!

By the way, I like to say “we” a lot, but this is really a one manned job. I just think “I” sounds too conceited :p
