Here's the first of a series of articles that introduces you to the Kiko API and also introduces the Ruby programming language for those of you who've been meaning to learn Ruby but haven't yet started.

If you've been trying to get your paws on the Ruby library for the Kiko API without success, I've got good news for you:

• The links on the Kiko API page are getting fixed
• In the meantime, here's a link to my mirror of the Ruby library for the Kiko API

If you're curious about the Kiko API and have got Ruby installed, you can give it a shot in interactive mode using irb -- the tutorial page will show you how. In the very near future, I'm going to post more extensive tutorials.
