Overview: This presentation teaches and explains not only how the API is used, but also how to write stable, clean tools that can easily be extended later.

By the end of the presentation, character TDs will have extended both their technical knowledge and Maya's rigging capabilities. More advanced areas of MEL (Mayas scripting language) will also be covered, such as script jobs and calling external windows programs from within Maya.
