Any good source/website/inputs/sample to kickstart developing a twitter application using twitter API?

Edit : I don't know what languages can be used to develop it. But I am familiar with VB .NET and Java.

Start here and then explore the links.

I was there yesterday. My thought would be using HTTP to interact with twitter server. But I want to see if my thought is the 'correct' implementation.

If you're working in C# or VB.NET I can heartily recommend TweetSharp.

Edit: Here are some snippets using TweetSharp, in case you're interested.

Thanks! I gave it a read. It's a wrapper for twitter API? Do you have any sample to develop it using 'native' twitter API?
henry
No, sorry - but if you're going to be developing in VB.NET, I can't really see why you would want to use the REST API over TweetSharp; you'd basically just be reinventing the wheel.
Mark B
I just wanna know how it is done. Curiosity, I would say. There is no doubt I probably cannot write a better wrapper than TweetSharp, but that's not going to stop me from exploring the ways. Thanks for the advice. I think what I am going to now to find a open source wrapper and see how they wrap the API.

Fair enough, I can understand that! You can get the source for TweetSharp from http://code.google.com/p/tweetsharp/source/checkout

Great! Thanks for the comment and answer. :)

The snippet doesn't work. See question @ my http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1824723/simple-problem-with-tweetsharp I copied hello, world, too.

I have written a Twitter library in VB.NET. It's free and open source and may be helpful to you. http://twittervb.codeplex.com/
