Coding 4 Fun - Check out this Code

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 :-(
