Hello,

I'm a newbie looking to learn how to customize sugarcrm. I'm familiar w/ all technologies involved. I have downloaded the bitrock stack and the application is up and running. Now I would like to do two things.

1 and most importantly---- Set up an external website that saves captured information into sugar (i.e. leads). I've read the example leadCapture.php and such. Currently I have a website running w/in the MySql/Php/Apache framework. However, I haven't found any clear documentation for what the functions in leadCatpure.php do. Exactly what does saveHandle do? How? Why? Also, what fields must you include and why? Coming from a java background, I'm used to cracking open javadocs and seeing all possible methods, constructors, and then seeing an explanation of those methods. So if someone could point me in that direction, that would be great.

2 and less important ---- How to create one's own module - Do you downloaded and install the module builder and templates. Or is that no good? What are the step - by - steps to creating a module? Which files need altering/adding onto etc?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out a newbie (and thus grow the community)....
