Developers

Welcome to the Sugar Developer Home Page. Here we present the three-step plan to Sugar developer nirvana whether you're a rookie or a seasoned pro.

I'm new ... what do I do?

You can always demo an on-demand version of our demo application (no registration hassles!). Our Downloads page is where you can jump right in, download Sugar, install extensions, and play, play, play. Again, no registration required.

• Demo Sugar Community Edition
• Download Sugar Community Edition

I've been programming since I was 5 years old.

Well, then, have at it!! You sound like you're ready to add extensions in SugarForge or even develop production-ready items for download or for sale in SugarExchange. Our developer forum is chock full of people just like you, or maybe a little less skillful -- or maybe more so. And the SugarWiki surely could benefit from your expertise as well as provide reference material in your quest to know Sugar inside and out.

• Extend on SugarForge
• Discuss in Forums
• Document on SugarWiki

Cool. Anything else?

We're glad you asked. We have an active Sugar Dev-User Group and associated forum where you can catch up on hot developer topics. The Community Preview forum is where you can access pre-release Sugar versions. We're quite proud of our newsletters and we highlight cool projects in our Project of the Month section. Finally, we provide IRC chat for on-the-spot questions and answers.

If there's anything we're missing by all means let us know by posting in our Site Feedback forum.
