This document provides an introduction and overview of BOL programming for CRM developers. It discusses the BOL programming API and advantages, including a uniform and easy-to-use API and built-in buffer that speeds up applications. The document demonstrates examples of static and dynamic searches, getting and setting entity properties, and creating a business partner entity. It also includes a demo of a custom GenIL object called Project Twibap that retrieves and displays tweets in a CRM web UI table. Useful transactions, reads, and Twitter accounts are listed for additional information.
