Is there anyway we can get a short tutorial or demo on how to use SDK? We're only VAR tech engineers, not developers and we're having a have time showing a demo to a potential client on how to utilize SDK in building a customize API.

Rafael,
Not sure there is such a thing as a short tutorial or demo when it comes to the SDK. With the SDK you have full access to the underlying assemblies that make Laserfiche work. Everything from security to user accounts to document repository functionality itself. Just about anything you can do with Laserfiche you can duplicate with the SDK.
Perhaps you could do a search of the Answers website for SDK coding examples and potential use cases and provide those to the customers developers?
I'm not sure if they're interested with those codes because I know how this potential client behave for I had a meeting with them before. The attitude of their IT manager is, "to see is to believe."
Interesting. Not sure how I would address a 'seeing is believing' attitude when trying to explain or demo the SDK.
In order to 'see' the SDK in action you would have to start a project in your development IDE (most likely Visual Studio), add the appropriate Laserfiche assembly references, code up some simple examples, and run them from the IDE. Pretty boring sales demo I would think! ;-)
As a Laserfiche PDP and long time developer my experience is that the SDK does exactly what it is designed and advertised to do.
The bottom line is if they want to build any kind of non-native integration with Laserfiche they will have to purchase the SDK, or contract with a PDP or VAR that will do the development work for them using the SDK.
