Publisher's Note
Amazon.com has moved beyond selling merchandise on the model of a book or department store. This book reveals that they have harnessed the power of their diversified computer infrastructure and added products that offer businesses rental space and use of their computer program resources. For example, one service is called the Amazon Simple Storage Service which provides unlimited data storage space that can be replicated on more than one computer server. Another called Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) allows a company to run its own web sites replicated on several servers. And there are several more services. This book offers detailed instructions on how to get started using these facilities and how to write applications in this environment. Many programming code examples are provided. It is a technical presentation requiring readers to be familiar with computer applications development. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
