Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

Cool2 API request: Last updated/Created info.
To be able to store some data locally (cache), I need to be able to find out whether this local data is outdated.
A relatively simple way to ensure this would be an API call which would tell us when was the last time that ANY change was made to the user's data (categories, subcategories, albums, images). This way local app would be able to determine quickly if there is a need to re-read the cahed data.

It would be also nice to return some kind of a time stamp along with the other data when retrieveing categories, subcategories and album info. I was thinking of two fields, actually - Created and LastUpdated. For category LastUpdated would be the time when any of the subcategories were created/removed,
For subcategory it will be unused. For albums - well, it's kinda obvious, it is even diaplsyed:-)

What do you think?
