API Programming Series #2

Here it comes...

OK, so I've been promising you a taste of real programming, and feeding you this drab theory? Fear not, coding is about to begin :-) Now we'll see a simple declaration and invocation example.

For this purpose let us build an application that finds out your computer name, i.e. the name you have given your computer. First, a word about the subsequent sections of this article. Many people advocate explaining each and everything to the reader before making him do it. But I've found it a cumbersome process.

So here, I will first tell you what to do, expecting you to obey me blindly, then I'll explain what we did. Don't worry, it is simple... Honest!

Ready? OK, API gods, here we come ready or not!
