We looked at the samples, mostly, and the SDK docs. When we had questions, we asked the developers on the SDK and beta listserve. Some limited docs ended up on the vfxpedia, but they were far from complete. There's a ton of 3rd party samples out there, I released a few dozen myself, but yeah, it's been pretty seat-of-pants as far as development goes. Fuses were actually introduced back in Fusion 5.0, but there were no docs of any kind for it, so it took ages before any 3rd party ones were made. I'd hate for you to stumble through it like that again, but there's just no "official" docs for it now. If you want to wait, I understand, but if you do want to get into it, I'd start with We Suck Less.
