I recently started working on a project that requires integration with QuickBooks via a web service, and needed to create an “Intuit Developer Network” account in order to download the QuickBooks SDK.

As I’ve found out, here are the steps to create that account, accompanying some great screenshots:

1. Open FireFox
2. Go to developer.intuit.com
3. Click “Member Login”
4. Click “Join Now”
5. Fill out the form
6. Submit the form
7. Give up because it gives you a JavaScript error telling you that you haven’t filled in your email address, even though you really have.
8. Close FireFox
9. Open Safari
10. Repeat steps 2 through 6
11. Give up because something in their JavaScript screws up that disables a mandatory select field that you don’t have access to
12. Close Safari
13. Fire up Remote Desktop Connection to connect to your Windows Box
14. Open up Internet Explorer
15. Repeat steps 2 through 6
16. Success (if you can call it that)
