Off and on, I've tried to write bots and such for the blockchain, but have never gotten far. IIRC, the stumbling block on my last attempt was signing a transaction. I am using a language where there's not one of these ready-made Steem libraries to handle that for me, so I was trying to figure out how to do it "by hand," but I just don't know much about cryptography and got stuck somewhere. If you would happen to know of any resources which spells that part of it out in slow, easy-to-understand concepts for us crypto-n00bs, please share.
https://steem.developers.io seems to have a broken SSL cert.
Which language are you using? ...I mis-typed the URL. It is fixed. https://developers.steem.io
https://developers.steem.io/ seems to be a great resource. What are you thoughts on what is there?
Oh, it's nice to have it well organized for sure. What I'd especially like is some simple applications that are open source, out of the box, that invite people to use "as is", or feel free to modify as they need. That would be a really nice compliment to the existing documentation.
They have added a lot of tutorials and recipes to the portal. Have you looked at those?
Swift. My language of choice.
I could probably have done all the stuff I want to do if I chose to use JavaScript or Python instead, since those languages have ready-made libraries. I don't hate Python, but it will never be one of my favorite languages. JavaScript, on the other hand, can die in a fire.
LOL. Programmers are one of the most passionate people I've ever met. :) I hate Javascript myself. I've used it, but its just awful to depend on the client side CPU to do calculations.
