Overview
TIBCO ActiveSpaces® provides API sets in several programming languages that allow developers to utilize TIBCO ActiveSpaces functionality from within their applications.
Prior to trying to develop an application which utilizes TIBCO ActiveSpaces, it is important to understand TIBCO ActiveSpaces as a product, its various components, and the concepts surrounding how TIBCO ActiveSpaces can be utilized. This information can be found in the document TIBCO ActiveSpaces Developer’s Guide.
TIBCO ActiveSpaces also provides example C programs that exercise the various features of TIBCO ActiveSpaces. These example programs can be found in the directory AS_HOME/examples/c. It is recommended that you compile, link and run the examples found in this directory to help you learn and understand how to develop an application using the TIBCO ActiveSpaces C API. For more information on the examples, see “Using the Example Code,” in the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Developer's Guide.
Once you become familiar with TIBCO ActiveSpaces high-level usage concepts, by reading the Developer's Guide and running some of the examples, you can then refer to the remainder of this document to find detailed information on the C language API provided by TIBCO ActiveSpaces and how to use the API in your applications.
