Irving, TX, June 25, 2009 — Fellowship Technologies is pleased to announce the release of a new Application Programming Interface (API), which allows churches and business partners to easily extend the power of the Fellowship One church management software. Fellowship Technologies worked hard to create an environment where church vision and new technology can intersect. Integration Architect Nick Floyd sums it up, “The purpose of the API is to provide tools to help churches and business partners create innovative solutions on top of the Fellowship One platform.”

The church world is faced with extraordinary challenges as well as fantastic opportunities. With the growing use of tools such as Facebook and the iPhone, it is becoming exceedingly important to reach people through technology. Churches and business partners can do just that by combining their vision, the API and Fellowship One. For example, you can connect with those in need via a social network like Facebook, and simultaneously capture any relevant data into the Fellowship One church management system. This is only one illustration of how the API can be used by churches to further their reach into the community. When developers at Fellowship Technologies looked at building an API, they recognized that the next generation of this technology is based on foundations that have been in place for years. They chose MVC (model-view-controller) as the application architecture, OAuth protocol for authentication and security, and REST and HTTP 1.1 as the transport. In simple terms, the API was built on solid ground using widely used and tested standards and protocols. These standards allow for Fellowship Technologies’ church and business partners to utilize almost any programming language when working with the API, and should give web developers a tool where they can focus on product features rather than the complexities of programming.

Fellowship Technologies has also launched a developer community site in order to educate and support developers working with the Fellowship One API. This site will equip churches and business partners with access to blogs, code libraries, videos, and nonstop ideas on new ways to use the API. The site will also be a great resource for support, not only from the Fellowship Technologies staff, but from the developer community as well. Whether you are an experienced developer or just working your way through the learning process, this community is a remarkable resource and a great place to learn. You are invited to learn more at http://Developer.FellowshipOne.com , where you can explore, experience and engage to get the most out of your Fellowship One experience.
