Coding Amazon Web Services

I am going to make a webshop using Amazon Web Services

I had a look at the code previously and it was daunting

Is it really

What is the best way to go about it?

I don't know if there is a short answer.

Don't be put off by all the different options. I would pick one way of showing links and use that until you get used to it, then you could try others. Individual Item Links work best for me. I'd recommend served links because they show the current price and are easy to set up and maintain, however the display options are more limiting.

- Login to your associates area.
- Click "Build a Link".
- Scroll down to "Individual Item Links" and click "Build Some".
- Select "Served Link" (or "You Host" if you prefer).
- Search for a product you'd like to sell.
- Click "Get HTML".
- Paste the HTML into your web page.
- Grab a beer, sit back and watch the dosh roll in.

That isn't the WebServices though

WebServices is a download so you can dynamically have their whole shop on your site

Oh bugger, sorry bout that. Can't help you there as I haven't really used it. I tried it briefly but it didn't grab me enough to persevere. I'd be interested to hear how you get on if you carry on with it.

Yeah, I am going to sit down and just try as hard as I possibly can on it today. I hope I will get some results out of it.
