Hi all.

I am not a pro in development but i am interested in learning xml and developing service for cisco ip phones. I know there is cisco sdk for it (i think) but is there any website or articles that can help me get started ? i know there was 1 book from cisco press but its very old and i think its outdated now. Pls guide me

I thought, you would find the Overview & Resources section of the link useful even to get started. Likewise, there are lot of other venues which if explored can be useful. Searching the forum, can result in finding some documents asked by learners like you.

Apart from the above link, lets see if other folks can provide any other great links.

Pls rate the post if it helps.

Hi John

I have that book - there is new stuff for sure, but in terms of the operation of the phone's browser and the XML objects you can use, the basics are still the same. The book does a reasonable job of going over the basics which isn't something you can expect from the Cisco SDK docs. To be honest I'm quite experienced with the various APIs now but a lot of the documentation isn't clear, and I'm sure that's not (always) a lack of understanding on my part.

The question would really be 'what do you want to do?'. There are a wealth of APIs available for providing various functionality and the interface presented on the phones may only be a small part of it.
