Product Description

The landscape of e-commerce is changing and Amazon.com is one of the companies on the forefront of those changes. Traditional affiliate marketing (which they pioneered) is old school. Using Amazon's Web Services, you can bring their store to your store.

This book teaches how to use the PHP programming language to develop web applications that take advantage of Amazon’s E-Commerce Service 4.0. The book also discusses the major aspects of the Amazon.com site architecture and Amazon's Seller Services -- the Amazon Inventory Management System (AIMS) and the Merchants@ API.

Web Services development using XSLT, SOAP, and REST is described as well as how to harness the international Amazon sites (amazon.de, amazon.co.jp, amazon.fr, etc..) to make applications that are multi-lingual and multi-cultural. The book is targeted at intermediate PHP developers but only basic understanding of XML and PHP is required. Developers interested in creating simple sidebar applications for web sites all the way up to more serious storefronts and even backend inventory systems will find this book a useful companion.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best existing source for this information, July 1, 2005
By Sean M. Gallagher (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Web Developer's Guide To Amazon E-Commerce Service: Developing Web Applications Using Amazon Web Services And PHP (Paperback)
This book is the only resource I've been able to find that pulls together the current information on Amazon's E-Commerce Service platform *and* applies it to PHP development. I wouldn't say I have the deepest PHP skills in the world, but I found that I could easily apply the exercises in this book to my own projects.

It helps that the book is well-written and engaging (something I've come to NOT expect from the tech-book mills that usually churn out books like this).

5.0 out of 5 stars Interested in Integration with Amazon ? This is the best place to start., August 21, 2005
This review is from: The Web Developer's Guide To Amazon E-Commerce Service: Developing Web Applications Using Amazon Web Services And PHP (Paperback)
I just got done reading and hacking the book and have found many new ways in which to interface with amazon.com web services. The book delivers on its title and does so to a broad audience in a clean style. You will need to understand XML technologies at a beginner's level and be proficient in PHP in order to fully utilize this book. Novices can also learn from this book.
Thanks Jason Levitt

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to Amazon web services, September 17, 2005
By fgw (Ottawa Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Web Developer's Guide To Amazon E-Commerce Service: Developing Web Applications Using Amazon Web Services And PHP (Paperback)
I am relative novice when it comes to using web services but I have some experience with PHP. I found the examples in this book very useful for illustrating how to get up and running quickly while giving a good foundation for more experimentation. The Author does not give away all of the answers to building a complete Amazon app which I found to be be nice because it made me think of other more imaginative ways to use them.
