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

of ASP.NET 2.0.
