Product Description

Amazon's new Web Services allow any computer application to find and display Amazon product information and initiate commercial transactions. "Power Selling with Amazon.com Web Services" is the only book on Amazon Web Services. Written for professional web developers creating Amazon store fronts and web site owners who want to get a piece of the action by selling for Amazon.com, this unique book focuses on development, not consumer, features. Topics include: Working with Web Services data; Writing applications using VBA, Visual Studio .NET, PHP, Java; Writing applications for mobile devices; Refining/crafting your Web Services program and considering user needs.


From the Back Cover

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 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful for beginners, August 5, 2004
If you've never been exposed to XML or SOAP and using web services then this is a good book. However, it is by no means a comprehensive treatment of the subject. The reality is that if you download the SDK and spend a little time on the internet you can find all of the same information.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another book about nothing..., July 2, 2004
By A Customer
First of all, I had a feeling that i was going to purchase
useless book. I just wanted to prove my theory and wasted
my money on it. Well, it's good to be a writer these days...
Pick up some hot commercial name for the book, add a little bit
about everything and here you go - you've wrote a book about
Web Services! It's packed of some web links and some discussion
of XML and SOAP and everything else what you can find in the kit from Amazon. All in all, don't expect to find anything useful
in this book. All you need is the kit and some examples from the Web. I'm planning to donate my book to the local library.

good luck!

2.0 out of 5 stars Out of date, not useful for non-programmers, December 26, 2004
I knew going in that this would not have much use for me... that's okay, one tidbit of information could pay for the book many times over.

What i got was a rehash of the now ancient history (2003) versions of Amazon Web Services, and nothing useful from a pratical standpoint.

I didn't expect to use the programing stuff (non outdate), but thought the author might throw in at least one example of someone useing this goldmine for a functioning task.

I'm giving a 2 stars because it doesn't have some of the promised programing discussion, but recomend anyone looking to market books, etc to avoid this one.
