Where to start?

Hello all,


Years back when I did VI-SDK development, the situation was like this - the documentation sucked, but it wasn't too difficult to get one's head around the limited documentation and available features in VMware world.


Now, I have to work on a project to develop customized vCenter plugins for vSphere 5.5 and above, and while the documentation still sucks, it's become extremely difficult to navigate one's way around this messy lake of jargons, high falutin' names, and general lack of coordination on the VMware site. 


Does anybody have any handy tips to get started on? I already have the vSphere Web Client documentation. So where do I start to make sense of it all if all I want is to develop a plugin for vSphere 5.5 and above? 


Cheers,


Timmy
