FamilySearch 10:00 Duane Kuehne API Overview
FamilySearch 11:00 Ryan Heaton Family Tree Read
FamilySearch 1:30 Ryan Heaton Family Tree Write
FamilySearch 2:30 Rob Lyon
Family Tree Sync
It is one thing to read and write to the Family Tree, but is quite another to
keep a
local record manager in "sync" with the Family Tree information. This session
is a
quick overview of flows and ideas to keep a local repository up-to-date with
the vast
information in Family Tree.
FamilySearch 3:30 Rob Lyon
Family Tree Combine/Separate
The Family Tree is a wonderful step forward in combining genealogy data
information
into a single database. Many great AI algorithms have been created to combine
people
from differing sources. However, these algorithms can only take us so far. we
need to
enlist enthusiasts to look at possible duplicates and combine them when
appropriate.
This is currently a tedious process, but they are many new possibilities in
improvements with the API.
FamilySearch 4:30 Tim Crabb, Rober W. Lee
Record Search
Record Search helps you identify your ancestors by letting you search millions
of
indexed records and by letting you browse images of records that have not yet
been
indexed; quickly users can begin to uncover information about their ancestors.
Indexed records and images of artifacts aren't exclusive to Record Search's own
innovative UI - its client/ server architecture leverages a rich API that
provides
interfaces to allow other applications to integrate this same functionality to
search
and retrieve records and image artifacts. This API will be made public shortly
so
come to learn the details of these APIs and see a demonstration of how they
could be
leveraged in your applications.
3rdParty 10:00 Renaun Erickson
Adobe Flex
The asfslib project is a set of classes in ActionScript 3.0 to help developers
interact with the FamilySearch API services. This presentation will
demonstrate how
to use the asfslib in your Flex and AIR projects. As well as techniques to use
Flex
to create nice looking front ends for display data coming from the FamilySearch
API.
3rdParty 11:00 David Pugmire
.NET Software
"FamilySearch Opens the Door to .NET Developers Worldwide"
The way is paved from FamilySearch to the world of .NET. Join David Pugmire of
nGenesis for a tour of the .NET API for FamilySearch. In this session you will
learn
what you can do with FamilySearch using the .NET Framework, and discover
everything
you need to get started. Demos of the API in both VB and C# languages, as well
as
multiple platforms such as ASP.NET, Windows, and Mobile clients will be
presented.
3rd Party 1:30 John Finlay
PHP
The PHP-FSAPI Library is an open source library which allows developers to
interact with the new FamilySearch APIs using PHP. This presentation will
discuss how to use the PHP-FSAPI Library in your own projects and discuss the
mapping of the API XML into GEDCOM. This presentation will also show how the
PhpGedView project uses this library to integrate with new FamilySearch by
allowing users to cross-link their data with the data in FamilySearch.

3rd Party 2:30 Jimmy Zimmerman
Ruby
Ruby-fs-api is an OpenSource library that makes accessing the FamilySearch API
extremely easy. Learn why Ruby is a great choice for accessing the FamilySearch
API,
and how to get started. Link: http://code.google.com/p/ruby-fs-api/
3rdParty 3:30 Logan Allred
Cocoa Obj.-C
Learn how to use the open-source FSKit Cocoa framework to integrate the
FamilySearch
web service APIs into your Macintosh applications. There will be a brief
overview of
the architecture and core classes in FSKit, after which you will build a simple
application to demonstrate authentication, searching, reading person data,
caching,
synchronization.
3rdParty 4:30 Boyd Gerber
Perl/Python
My presentation will include: An introduction to perl and python libraries that
makes
working with the API easy. Instructions on obtaining code, account, etc. to
begin
using the library. Live Demo of a perl and python application that uses
FamilySearch
API. Roadmap & how to get involved. Each section will be for the seperate
programming
language.
Client 10:00 John Finlay
GedLync
GedLync is a new Java open source project developed by students at Neumont
University which will allow users to synchronize a GEDCOM file on their local
desktop with data in new FamilySearch. This tool simplifies the way users can
upload and synchronize their GEDCOM data with new FamilySearch.

Client 11:00 Gaylon Findlay
PAF SDK/ Sync (C++)
The basic layout of the PAF 5 database structure will be covered, along with
the
basics of using the PAF 5 SDK provided by the Church. From this base, we will
discuss
the recent changes engineered by Incline Software and Ohana Software to allow
syncing
with the new FamilySearch Family Tree.
Client 1:30 Dan Lawyer, Jason Butterfield
Rich Flex Client
Full-featured and filthy-rich on the FamilySearch API. The FamilySearch Labs
team is
building a full-featured, rich (in features) web client on top of the
FamilySearch
API. Come hear tips, tricks, and best practices of integrating Flash apps with
the
FamilySearch API. An overview of the FamilySearch Family Tree project, its
architecture and how it integrates with the FamilySearch API will be presented.
Client 2:30 Matt Misbach, Brad Hintze
Rapid Ajax Application Platform
This lecture will cover a quick overview of the basics of the Bungee Connect
platform.
A tour of the Bungee Family Search library will be given followed by a demo
of a
Family Search searching application that was written using the library.
Client 3:30 Gordon Clarke
Feature Opportunities
Gordon will cover the opportunies available in this new arena, including Tree
Cleaning, Notifications, Private/Shared/Public Spaces, Collaboration, hosting
and
linking of Rich Media.
Client 4:30 Jimmy Zimmerman
Basic Client
The basic client is available as a binary or source code. The binary can be
used to
test all the features of the Family Tree API and provides an ability to check
the XML
strings before committing the changes. Excellent tool for learning and
understanding
the API Schema in actual use.
