Question thread #2

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer.

I've written a script that post Pinboard bookmarks to Dreamwidth. Currently it posts by email, but I plan on figuring the Dreamwidth API to add posting to a community.

I've found the API documentation on LJ, but the very first note says:

Before reading this document, it is assumed you know at least some basics about network programming, at least the whole idea of opening sockets and reading/writing to them. If not, this might be kind've confusing.

Well, I don't know anything about network programming :D Pointers to good tutorials would be awesome. The script is written in PHP, if there is language-specific information.

Actually, I think PHP has a built in XMLRPC library that would be even higher level to use:
