A recent question on the DocuSign forums asked how to populate pre-placed Tabs in a Template from the API. This is a pretty common use-case for anyone who has a Document they want to mock-up in the Console and has dynamic values that can be updated from the API. 

As part of our product planning, the DocuSign engineering team analyzed non-personally identifiable data from our web site to determine what versions of the .NET framework are installed on our customers' desktops. We’ll use this information to ensure DocuSign products will install quickly and easily for most users without requiring additional downloads.

Want to learn about the DocuSign API hands-on with our DevCenter team? We'll be sponsoring the Twilio Conference on September 21 and 22 at the Bently Reserve in SF.

Interested in how you can receive SMS notifications when a recipient signs or sends an envelope using just your voice? Nick will be putting together a few samples showing the DocuSign and Twilio integration during the hackathon from 6 p.m. – 1 a.m. on the 21st.

Over last weekend, DocuSign sponsored and participated in the Cleanweb Hackathon in San Francisco. In case you've never heard of "Cleanweb" before, it is a word coined by Sunil Paul to describe the merging of technology and information to make resources and capital more efficient. At DocuSign we're helping reduce paper consumption and waste while massively improving business efficiency and communication. Can you say "perfect match?" 

Tomorrow is the first Bay Area Mobile App Hackathon (and the second Mobile App hackathon sponsored by DocuSign). Doors open at 9am and hacking continues all day until 9pm.
The last Mobile App hackathon produced a number of creative and challenging apps, including a "mutual consent" app built on top of the DocuSign API, an augmented reality laser-tag app, and Mike Borozdin's famous Hash Monkey service.

Analysis of the Powers and Capabilities of the DocuSign API

 Are you thinking of using the DocuSign API? ProgrammableWeb has published a new report on their website that compares DocuSign’s API to other electronic signature APIs. The report offers an impartial view of API capabilities and developer programs, comparing DocuSign, EchoSign and RightSignature.  This document is immediately available for download here.

Withdrawing Authoritative Copy with DocuSign API and Java.

One of the features that makes DocuSign service valuable to Financial markets is the ability to track electronic originals.  This is important because when you deal with electronic documents a copy is just as good as the original down to the last byte.  In cases where a bond is traded or a stock certificate changes hands it’s critical to maintain the chain of custody for it.
