These are the files for 2023 Fantasy Football Developer Kit. If you're reading this and you haven't bought the 2023 kit yet, you can get it at https://fantasycoding.com.
If you have, let's get started. See installation instructions and then pick back up in the guide.
If you're not familiar with Git or GitHub, no problem. Just click the Source code link under the latest release to download the files. This will download
a file called fantasy-developer-kit-vX.X.X.zip, where X.X.X is the latest version
number.
When you unzip these (note in the book I've dropped the version number and
renamed the directory just fantasy-developer-kit, which you can do too) make
note of where you put them.
For example, on my mac, I have them in my home directory:
/Users/nathanbraun/fantasy-developer-kit
If I were using Windows, it might look like this:
C:\Users\nathanbraun\fantasy-developer-kit
To use these projects, you need to have an ini file called config.ini. I've
included an example (config_example.ini) for you to use as a starting point.
So the first step is renaming config_example.ini to just config.ini. Then
you can paste your developer kit license key in it. More details in the PDF
guide.
