SugarCrm is one of the most recent software apps to catch my attention. I’ve heard a lot about it in the past, but until recently have not played with it. Recently, we installed on our server garden and I’ve been very impressed. While it starts as a contact management system, it has some design features [...]
Introduction

First I reviewed PayPal’s docs: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/gateway_update_custom_dev . The PayPal link walks you through determining if you need to upgrade, and then directing you to the correct SDK.
