Amazon Web Services Introduction for Ruby Coders

- Using Amazon’s Web Services for Spidering the Web
- Capistrano + Amazon EC2 == Rapid Rails Deployment
- Thanks to Ruby Inside’s Sponsors for July 2008



Robert Dempsey, of Atlantic Dominion Solutions, has put together a comprehensive introduction to Amazon's Web Services for Ruby developers. AWS has a lot to offer, from e-commerce services through to the EC2 "Elastic Compute Cloud" and the popular S3 "Simple Storage Service". Robert looks at how Ruby can access AWS using RESTful techniques, demonstrates how to use S3 from Ruby, and provides a batch of links to further resources.

Peter,
Thank you for the link to the article. I hope to be writing more articles for AWS Developer Connection in the near future. Of course, I give props to you who is already an accomplished author with a great book - Beginning Ruby. Definitely a must read for Ruby developers!
