Next Steps

Congratulations! Now that you have completed the basic example presented in this guide, you are ready to start designing your own application. Although, most applications built on Amazon Associates Web Service are not as simple as the example in this guide, the principles used in the example can be readily applied to more complex applications.

The Amazon Associates Web Service API provides a wealth of opportunities for developing new and innovative applications and websites. Previous sections covered in depth how to find an item for sale using ItemSearch. Finding an item is often the first task an Amazon Associates Web Service application implements. The tasks presented in this section are ordered in a use case scenario that is common for a customer using an Amazon Associates Web Service application.

The following set of tasks are not prescriptive for every application. They are, instead, indicative of some of the tasks that the Amazon Associates Web Service API facilitates.

All of these tasks are covered in greater depth in the Amazon Associates Web Service Developer Guide.

	Note
	The sample application, SimpleStore.php, provides a sample implementation of many of these tasks. To see this application, go to AWS Developer's Resource Center.
