Confusion about how a ShapeWays app is built !

Hi, I am new here.

I have recently been learning how to program.

I am interested in building a ShapeWays App.

I have confusion, as on the developer page, I read the following:

- This How To Guide will take you through the steps necessary to create a working Shapeways App.

With this in mind, may I ask what the actual steps are necessary to create a working ShapeWays App.

Do I use JavaScript. Is there a tutorial please ?

Thank you, I have so many ideas, this would be a great opportunity for me.

Best Wishes

Hi, Rielaiz.
I don't have an actual answer per say but when I contacted Shapeways with some of my questions about getting started with the API, the representative who responded to me suggested I submit my questions to <api@shapeways.com>... Hopefully that might be of some help to you too!

The Getting Started guide is rather clear......
1) Register your account
2) Register your app
3 ) Familiarize yourself with JSON
4) Setup an OAUTH1 login process
5) Get the security tokens for your app
6) Start sending API (html) calls to "do things" such as upload a model, etc.
