Using the WorkXpress API: Display Formats
You have learned about all of the functions. You understand the data formats. What could possibly be left before mastering the WorkXpress API? Display formats is the answer.
Using the WorkXpress API: Data Formats
Now that you know how to use the WorkXpress API, it's time to learn about some more advanced concepts. Data formats define how Field values are stored within WorkXpress. These values can be useful for finding out more information about certain values, and will need to be used when storing data into certain Field Types.
Using the WorkXpress API: ExecuteAction
Earlier I introduced you to the WorkXpress API. If you have not read it already you should do so before reading this post. Once you have a basic understanding of what it is and how it works, it's time to start diving into the API.

Introducing the WorkXpress API
I recently finished documenting the WorkXpress API and thought I would share some of the details. First of all, the documentation can be downloaded at http://www.workxpress.com/sites/default/files/WorkXpress%20API_1.pdf (PDF). For PHP, there is a PEAR package that makes working with the API easier. Look for that in a later post.
Selenium: Waiting For AJAX

I was playing around with Selenium RC a little while ago and ran into a little problem that I thought I would share with everyone. I was writing a test that bounced around WorkXpress to give me some performance benchmarks. My test added a new item that had a list layout of related items on it. I wanted to be able to follow a link to add items to that list. Seems easy enough right?
What's Your Web Service Protocol Of Choice?
I have been doing a lot of web service development at work lately. I completed a FedEx integration for WorkXpress and have been working on a new integration with Drupal. Each of these integrations have involved using both SOAP servers and clients (the client being WorkXpress).
What Does The Future Hold For PEAR?
With PHP 5.3 just over the horizon, I decided to see how well prepared WorkXpress was. Our coding standard is pretty strict and was developed to ensure that our application conforms to E_STRICT standards. However, we all know that some things are inevitably going to fall through the cracks.
