Creating an application using Amazon Web Service
I’ve just discovered a cool tutorial over at Coding4Fun. The show you how to implement the Amazon Web Service in a C# application allowing you to search for books and such via your application. This could be extremely useful in developing your own web application/site when attempting to integrate with larger companies.
Give it a shot…
Coding4Fun : Using the Amazon Web Service
The 3.0 release includes a downloadable software development kit. Before getting started on the application, I installed the SDK on my computer. The SDK provides all the information you need on using Amazon Web services to add content to Web sites, enable transactions, and upload products to Amazon.com. I don’t need to add content to my Web site or use the more advanced features of the Amazon Web services. Not yet, anyway. I usually have modest objectives when I begin working with unfamiliar technology. A desktop application that uses one of the Web methods provided by the Amazon Web service is a good starting point. Once I get familiar with the Amazon Web services I can look forward to tackling more ambitious projects later on.
Happy Coding!
