Granted in the category 'sService to the Developer Community's, the Star Developer Award was awarded to Jake Becker of WatchCount.com for Becker'ss participation in eBay'ss Developer forums.





Developers, like Jake Becker, are critical to the success of eBay'ss developer program as they are on the front lines addressing issues and lending their expertise to those who are looking to get started with the eBay API platform, said Kumar Kandaswamy, Head of the eBay Developers Program. Jake Becker embodies the spirit of eBay'ss open platform that relies on unique innovation and collaboration to create compelling applications.



On eBay'ss discussion boards, developers of all skill levels mingle to keep up to speed with eBay programming news, lend each other advice, and seek out assistance from more experienced developers. As eBay has made it easier for new developers to acquire API keys and begin tapping into its infrastructure, new members jump aboard to take advantage of eBay'ss open API. Some turn to the developer forums for a helping hand, where active members, such as Becker, are more than happy to help point developers in the right direction.



Says Becker, When I come across another developer stuck in a jam that I had once fumbled with myself, it'ss actually somewhat challenging for me to resist taking several moments to step in, compose a reply, and offer my assistance.
