Amazon.com Mashups: Sample Chapter Available

14 February 2007 No Comment

A quick update on my book [LINK]. The "Search Inside" feature from Amazon is on its way but in the interim you can read a sample chapter (Chapter 15) from this book here: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-303068.html

This chapter covers the Amazon S3 platform and shows you how to build a generic interface into it. For those of you on the fence as to whether to buy the book this might push you over the edge and for those who’ve already bought it, thank you, this might be a useful online reference for you.

Jeff Barr has blogged it here [LINK]. The Wrox Newsletter cites it also.

Still no reviews posted on Amazon. If you’ve bought the book, liked it or hated it, I’d appreciate it if you could post a review on Amazon’s product page. The feedback is invaluable in improving future writing endeavours.

The Yahoo Develop Network also mentions the book today: [LINK] along with some of the other titles in the series: "Yahoo Maps Mashups" by Charles Freedman, "Flickr Mashups" by David Wilkinson and "Del.icio.us Mashups" by Brett O’Connor.

"Additionally, "Amazon.com Mashups" by Francis Shanahan features mashups with Yahoo! Maps. All books carry on the fine tradition Wrox has of delivering quality technical books to real programmers. As I learned last year at many conferences, our developer community deserves and expects nothing less."

They’ve also launched the following site as a central location for the entire series: http://www.mashupexperts.com

Enjoy.
