I would like to know if we can insert some methods of the zmanim api’s in other programs that will be commercialized.
Thanks.

See the recent comments on the downloads page. While it is very easy (the toString methods on all objects currently return the toXML that is an XML string representation of the object) to make a web service wrapper aroud the Java code, I have no plans on hosting a web service.

I too am very interested in the C#.Net version.
Any idea yet when this will be available?
Do you think you can make a wrapper web service around your Java based code? Then the data can be retrieved by any client which can consume a web service.

Isaac,
I do not have a current timeline. One thing that I probably have to look into is changing the API from using inheritance of the Java Calendar classes, to one that uses composition. This will make porting it to other languages easier. I will try to keep you posted on this progress.

David,
The Zmanim Java API is for the moment for zmanim only. The BAYT HebrewDate API (last updated in 2002), is for the most part a Jewish / Gregorian calendar that has had some rudimentary zmanim added. The 2 really target different needs and will often be used together in a project. The Hebrew dates that you see displayed on the site are actually part of the PHP Hebrew date plugin that I wrote for WordPress, and not part of the API. Adding similar Hebrew display support to the BAYT API or even merging part of the HebrewDate API to the Zmanim API would potentially make sense. I would like to eventually port the Zmanim API to both .NET (C#) and PHP. The C# conversion should be trivial, while the PHP port, while not very complex, will take some more time.

Great Work. I really Like your HebrewDate Implementation.
I was previously using the Open source project from BAYT. which is very nice also, but what I liked about yours is that it has the hebrew rendering of the date. Very fancy. I am not sure how to use it yet, but I look forward to it.

By the way what do you do? are you a full-time prgrammer? Do you learn all day? Are you available to work on side projects?

All the Best.
David.
