In a continuation (finally) of this DevShed article, they've posted Part 2 of their "Building a Barebones Content Management System" series - focusing on the Yaapi API.

Welcome to the second part of my series on "Building a Barebones Content Management System." For those who missed out earlier, here is a quick refresher of the topics covered in the first part. It started by listing the reasons why I initiated the exercise of developing a custom CMS.

Today, I’ll continue where I left off in the previous article. I shall show how to use the different API methods of yaapi to retrieve a list of "articles", display an "article" on a web page, retrieve a list of "categories" defined from the administration module and much more.

They dive deep into the Yaapi system, showing how to get it all set up, list articles out, display just a single article, and create a list of categories for the site.
