How can we make the Csound API easier for new developers to explore?

Hello

I’ve been working with the Csound API recently, and while it’s very powerful, I feel like the learning curve for new developers is still quite steep. :innocent: There are many functions and structures, but not all of them are explained in beginner-friendly ways. :innocent:

This can make it difficult for someone just starting out to know where to begin.

One idea I had was creating simplified examples or starter templates that show small but complete use cases. :thinking:For example, connecting the API to a simple GUI, or demonstrating real-time audio generation with minimal code.

I believe this kind of content could help bridge the gap for newcomers while still showing the depth of what Csound can do. :slightly_smiling_face: Checked Csound API: Main Page guide for reference.

Interestingly, I came across the concept of what is a Prompt Engineer? in the AI world, where they help optimize how AI responds to human inputs. I wondered if something similar could be applied here someone who creates “prompt-like” starter examples for Csound developers so that the entry point feels more guided. Has anyone in the community tried something like this? :thinking:

Thank you !! :slightly_smiling_face:

Have you been to the API examples page?
