Are Programs supported?

[MichaelAllenClark]

You are correct that the SDK does not wrap the Program object. It would be rather simple to add but the use cases for it are rather limited. It is not possible to create/modify Programs but it is possible to start one that were already created in the UI. The object in SOAP that represents a Program is actually called Campaign. Even without support built-in it is possible to make the request to start one, similar to how QueryActivities were used in:
#8

Assuming c is an instance of the Client object, the code to start a Program would be:
c.soap_perform 'Campaign', {'ObjectID' => 'Q1'}, 'start'

Program support will be added in a future version, but the syntax above will continue to work even after it is added.

@MichaelAllenClark, thanks for the information. For the moment it looks like I won't have to start a Program - err, I mean Campaign in SOAP land ;) - but if I need to I'll keep that in mind.

By the way, when I first started using this gem a few weeks ago, the Dot9Refactor branch seemed to be the most up to date, and then in #8 @barberj said 7 days ago that his repo was the most up to date. It looks like all the changes have been pulled into master on ExactTarget/FuelSDK-Ruby, and also the gem appears to be up to date at http://rubygems.org/gems/fuelsdk. So I think I can stop using my own fork of Dot9Refactor soon, once I do something about FuelSDK not supporting version 1.8.x of the JSON gem (I'll probably send a pull request for that shortly).

The changes he made along with more are now currently in the master branch of the ExactTarget version. Please do send a pull request if you are able to fix the issue with JSON gem support.

Thanks!
