Documentation and book
xavier:
Hi,
A whole new section in the book has been written about extending and developing with civicrm:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/CiviCRM/DevelopIntro
API
The api chapter (from php, ajax, REST interface and the template):
http://en.flossmanuals.net/CiviCRM/DevelopAPI
the wiki describing each of the available api
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/CiviCRM+Public+APIs
and an automatically generated documentation:
http://api.civicrm.org
HOOKS
The hook chapter
http://en.flossmanuals.net/CiviCRM/DevelopHooks
and the wiki
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/CiviCRM+hook+specification
If we point you to this page as an answer to one of your questions, we are not RTFMing you, but it looks like you are blocked on a specific detail because you haven't yet the bigger picture clear in your head.
I'd recommend you to read the chapter(s), developing for Civi will be a much less frustrating experience. Personal anecdote: I even almost find it enjoyable ;).
If you find the wiki unclear or missing an explanation, please amend it. If you write something that might be useful to others, please share.
If you are not sure about how to do it, you might want to ask in the forum before starting to code, one of us might think about a faster way to get you where you want, or we might suggest a simple amendment that might benefit make your solution much more generic and so others can benefit from it.

Xavier,
I found that chapter the other day, following a link from a post, and I agree it's a useful and illuminating read. <applause/>
Thanks for your hard work!
