Coding 4 Fun - Check out this Code

Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:53 PM

My latest article is live on Coding4Fun. I wrote an API to interact with public libraries running Horizon Information Portal by SirsiDynix. It takes advantage of the XML that they expose to search for books, retrieve patron name/address (given user ID and password), checked out books, holds, and blocks. The library is packaged in a DLL along with a simple test client. This is part one with a second part to build a more functional UI with the same DLL. Check it out!

That's really cool -- I use the XML feature for a lot of the extra catalog functionality we offer at the University of Huddersfield Library :-)

Unfortunately SirsiDynix recently announced that they're killing off the HIP product and replacing it with something different (which as far as I know doesn't output XML), so it's likely that we'll have to abandon a lot of the work we've done :-( 4/1/2007 5:48 AM | Dave Pattern
