Programming Amazon Web Services

This practical book teaches you how to use Amazon's groundbreaking new services! Amazon's S3 (Simple Storage Service) allows you to "rent" storage and bandwidth from Amazon's massive worldwide network; EC2 (Enterprise Compute Cloud) allows you to rent computing time on Amazon's computing facilities. Together, they offer a new paradigm for network infrastructure: use what you need, as you need it, and pay as you go. Whether you need an offsite backup for your home, or are starting a new online business, Using Amazon Web Services gives you the background and the practical knowledge you need to start using these revolutionary new facilities.

James Murty
James Murty is a software developer with extensive experience creating web-based applications and architectures using Java. With a working background spanning a research institute, a small software house and various corporations he has a broad perspective on both the promise and the difficulties inherent in networked applications.

Most recently James has been excited to see the rise of web applications and services that provide compelling new tools and new ways of approaching old problems. While experimenting in this area he created JetS3t, an open source library and application suite that is the leading Java implementation available for Amazon's S3 data storage service.
