• A bit too soon into XML / WSDL
  I think this book is great, first time I have seen it advertized I thought: "I have to get this". Have not finished reading it yet, I am about one third through, but I think one of the big flaws (if not indeed the author meant it that way) is that it dives into XML / WSDL / SOAP too soon or too sudden... at least for me. By the time I have started understanting how everything is organized in the scheme of things, it was all about that, and I personally don't have experience --- a lot with these things.more info

• An excellent resource for web developers
  Some of the reviewers seem to be wishing for a "..for Dummies" book. This aint it.

• Not bad for the price
  The info doesn't do a very good job explaining bits of the code. They just give you a few pages of code at a time and then shows you what the end result looks like.

Amazon web services may not be the best place if you are wanting to make some income from selling their stuff. The book says it is better if you have something to sell through... more info

• Excellent introduction to Amazon web services
  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.
