Know any good beginner tutorials for learning to use Twitter's API?

I recently used an API for the first time with Flickr, which was fairly easy.

I'm now trying to get say 3 recent tweets from my Twitter feed and customize their style, then display them on a my site—but the Twitter API is incredibly complicated (at least for me).

Does anyone know if there's a good beginner tutorial out there? Thanks!

I saw over at Codecademy that they have a Twitter API tutorial. I haven't tried it out before, so I can't say if it's any good. You can have a look for yourself here: https://www.codecademy.com/en/tracks/twitter

Thanks, I actually ended up using a plugin—oAuth Twitter Feed for Developers.

It's amazing. All you have to input is your keys from Twitter, and then you get a 3d array!
