Trying to break into AGI scripting can be a real pain in the bum, I'm finding.
I've Googled like crazy but can't find a site or place that has good "beginner" (and beyond) AGI scripting examples. There's plenty of info on the available functions and methods, but nothing helpful I can find on how to get started, etc. After a ton of work (trial and error, rinse and repeat) I got a very short AGI script working but trying to extend it (Transfer the call based on agi_dnid for example) is proving to be, yet again, extremely frustrating.

Thanks for any direction!

You can also download some

You can also download some of Ward's scripts at nerdvittles.com. If you are a programmer, you should learn a lot by example.

When dealing with manipulating channels and doing things like transferring calls, you should be familiar with AMI (Asterisk Manager Interface). The reference will help a lot: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+manager+API

Specifically talking about transferring, if you are using PHP, investigate the phpagi-asmanager application which will give you an API into the AMI. For instance, to transfer using this library, I would do something like $asm->Redirect($peer, null, $extension, "ext-local", 1); which redirects one channel to another, effectively transferring the call.

Here is an old WIKI I wrote which gives an example of how to use an AGI from the dial plan right through to a database and back again with all steps detailed.
Might be helpful for you.
