The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.

- Mark Twain


Hello, Developer. If you are reading this, you are itching to get started building your interactive promotion. First, please accept our warm Welcome.

In order to create a promotion using BReWS, you don't need much:

  1. You need to be a programmer, or be friends with one, well versed in Internet (HTTP) technologies
  2. You need to be able to deploy your application in an environment connected to the Internet so that it can communicate with our services
  3. You need to have an API Key

Once you have all that, you are ready to get started.


Getting Help

First, start with this site. Documentation on services available, call mechanisms, and debugging can be found here. Good starting points are this page, especially the #Your First Calls section, and the FAQ.

Second, make use of the Webservices Mailing List. You can interact with other BReWS users, including the engineering team that builds and maintains it.

Third, if you are really in a pickle, call your primary ePrize contact. They can get you the additional help you need.
