The easy way is to use the search API with from:username as the query
term. It'll work for public tweets.
Ie. http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3Ajmstriegel
I'm currently hitting rate limit issues with the search api, though,
so if you're planning on doing this in high volume for lots of users
at a time, look into the streaming api instead. There's a follow
parameter on the statuses/filter method that will get you what you
want:

I am looking to get a result similar to if I visit twitter.com/
USERNAME.
I just want to show latest 20 updates from a single user but my
developer says that Statuses/Show will only show most recent update.
I find it hard to believe that the API wouldn't allow one to achieve
what I explained above. What am I missing?
