I think the authenticated API is big news. It signals additional development in an area that will benefit the entire community… I hope that there is much more to come.
Here I will quickly run down various things I have done with the API since the inception…
First of all ProProsper — Professional Tool For Prosper Lenders… While the application does a few interesting things, the biggest, best, most useful feature of ProProsper is direct SQL access of the public Prosper data and some schema enhancements. I built ProProsper using a rapid application development toolkit on top of struts and tomcat. SQL Server 2000 database using DTS packages to import and post process the data.
Second I built a Prosper Listing Widget using Adobe Flex Builder 2 and the webservice API (I have updated the listing widget to use the new https version of the API). I also did 2 variations on the widget ProProsper RSS Feed Listing Widget Rotator and Group Listing Widget Rotator.
Yesterday I downloaded the sample c# app provided by Prosper and adjusted it to work with the new API (https instead of http). The sample app is pretty basic, but here is what I did to make it work…
1. changed line 12 of app.config to:
https://services.prosper.com/ProsperAPI/ProsperAPI.asmx2. removed ProsperAPIService web reference
3. created a new WebReference with url:
https://services.prosper.com/ProsperAPI/ProsperAPI.asmx?WSDL
4. named the new WebReference “ProsperAPIService”
5. rebuilt sample app
Also I have begun playing around with the API with WSDL2Java… Nothing really interesting yet. But apparently the ssl cert being used is not compatible out of the box with java and you need to use this… http://blogs.sun.com/andreas/entry/no_more_unable_to_find

Can you recommend a decent beginning book on SQL statements for people who have worked a bunch on Excel, and some on Access but not SQL itself?
SQL is pretty basic at the root. But it can get incredibly complex and is very powerful. I think I would start with SQL For Dummies (For Dummies Series)
