- [Resource Object](resource-object.md) - Raw resource object are eventually parsed into proper resource objects, which are accessible via Calendar methods such as getResources and getResourceById. You can read their properties or manipulate them via methods.
- [Associating Events with Resources](resources-and-events.md) - How to specify which resources your events are assigned to.
