Description
This work helps you to profit with Amazon Web Services - as a buyer, seller, or independent developer. In a few short years, Amazon has evolved from an online bookstore into a complex marketplace comprised of thousands of vendors, millions of customers, and an ever-widening selection of products. With the launch of Amazon Web Services, buyers and sellers have unprecedented access to the immense body of data underpinning this marketplace. "Mining Amazon Web Services: Building Applications with the Amazon API" shows you what you can do with these powerful tools, and exactly how to do it. As a buyer, you'll build applications that let you comparison-shop far more effectively, consistently saving money and finding exactly the right product. As a seller, you'll leverage Amazon Web Services in ways that help you attract more customers, make more commissioned referrals, and improve your bottom line.This book is also a great resource for independent developers who want to create and publish - even make money with - applications for others.
Here's some of what you'll find covered inside: performing complex product searches; analyzing the data obtained in your searches; connecting Amazon Web Services to a local database; building a Web Services-based shopping cart; using Amazon-supported search technologies, including XML over HTTP and SOAP; improving speed and reliability; building applications for mobile devices; and, building and publishing applications for others. All that's required is some basic experience with any one of several programming languages, including VBA, Visual Basic 6, Visual C++ 6, Visual Basic .NET, Visual C# .NET, Java, and PHP, all of which are fully represented in the book's downloadable code.
