Description

"This book will not only demonstrate how developers can utilize Amazon Web services to create cool mashups but will also help them convert it to money-making mashups - 'cashups.'"
-Jinesh Varia, Amazon Web Services Developer Relations Team

Amazon.com is advancing the boundaries of the Internet through their powerful suite of web services. Innovative developers are combining Amazon data with other freely available sources to create new and interesting applications known as Mashups. This book teaches you the techniques behind mashup applications and for the first time shows you how to build them yourself.

The examples in this book show you how to integrate Amazon web services with APIs from Yahoo!, eBay, Google and YouTube. You'll learn how to combine data from disparate sources to create new applications using next generation browser techniques such as AJAX, JSON and Dynamic Scripting. You will learn how to re-purpose web service data so that it can be consumed from mobile devices such as a cell phone or PDA. Because both the theory and code are explained, you'll be able to easily take the lessons in this book to build your own killer mashup applications.

Expert web services developer Francis Shanahan guides you through the basics of web service consumption using XML, SOAP and REST. Next generation browser techniques such as AJAX are illustrated in easy to follow step by step examples. He also completes the picture by introducing advanced techniques to enhance performance such as the multi-threading web service features of ASP.NET 2.0

With this book, you'll discover how to:
* Build a generic AJAX library from the ground up
* Consume publicly available APIs such as Yahoo!(r) Search, Google(r), eBay(r) and YouTube
* Use SOAP to expose Amazon data as RSS
* Convert Amazon data directly into JSON using XSLT
* Plot Amazon.com customers on Yahoo Maps
* Use the OpenSearch API to build your own search service
* Access Amazon data from your cell phone using WML

Who this book is for

This book is for developers who have some prior experience with web technologies such as Javascript(r) and ASP.NET. This book covers a wide range of technologies and techniques including ASP.NET 2.0, WML, REST, RSS, SOAP, XML, XSLT, AJAX and JSON. Everything in the book is built using free tools and explained in detail, along with the source code which makes this a useful resource regardless of experience level.

描述

這本書不僅展示了開發人員如何利用亞馬遜網絡服務創建酷炫的混搭應用程式,還幫助他們將其轉化為賺錢的混搭應用程式 - "cashups"。
-Jinesh Varia,亞馬遜網絡服務開發者關係團隊

亞馬遜公司通過其強大的網絡服務套件推進了互聯網的界限。創新的開發人員將亞馬遜數據與其他免費可用的資源結合起來,創建了新的有趣應用程式,稱為混搭應用程式。本書教授您混搭應用程式背後的技術,並首次向您展示如何自己構建它們。

本書中的示例向您展示了如何將亞馬遜網絡服務與Yahoo!、eBay、Google和YouTube的API集成。您將學習如何將來自不同來源的數據結合起來,使用下一代瀏覽器技術(如AJAX、JSON和動態腳本)創建新的應用程式。您將學習如何重新使用網絡服務數據,以便從手機或PDA等移動設備中使用。由於理論和代碼都有解釋,您將能夠輕鬆地將本書中的教訓應用於構建自己的強大混搭應用程式。

網絡服務專家Francis Shanahan引導您通過使用XML、SOAP和REST來消費網絡服務的基礎知識。下一代瀏覽器技術,如AJAX,通過易於遵循的逐步示例進行說明。他還介紹了增強性能的高級技術,例如ASP.NET 2.0的多線程網絡服務功能。

通過本書,您將發現如何:
* 從頭開始構建通用的AJAX庫
* 使用公開可用的API,如Yahoo!搜索、Google、eBay和YouTube
* 使用SOAP將亞馬遜數據公開為RSS
* 使用XSLT將亞馬遜數據直接轉換為JSON
* 在Yahoo地圖上繪製Amazon.com的客戶
* 使用OpenSearch API構建自己的搜索服務
* 使用WML從手機訪問亞馬遜數據

本書適合對JavaScript和ASP.NET等網絡技術有一定經驗的開發人員。本書涵蓋了廣泛的技術和技巧,包括ASP.NET 2.0、WML、REST、RSS、SOAP、XML、XSLT、AJAX和JSON。書中的所有內容都使用免費工具構建並詳細解釋,並附有源代碼,使其成為一個無論經驗水平如何都有用的資源。
