This is the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide. This section describes who should read this guide, how the guide is organized, and other resources related to the Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS™).
The Amazon Simple Queue Service will occasionally be referred to within this guide as simply "SQS"; all copyrights and legal protections still apply.
This guide is intended for developers who are building distributed web-enabled applications. An application could typically use Amazon SQS as a buffer to manage the flow of data from one application component to another component at a different network location.
To use SQS, you must have an AWS account and be signed up to use SQS. See the Amazon Simple Queue Service Getting Started Guide for information.
Use of this guide assumes you are familiar with the following:
XML (See W3 Schools XML Tutorial)
Basic understanding of web services (See W3 Schools Web Services Tutorial)
A programming language for consuming a web service and any related tools
You should also have read the Amazon Simple Queue Service Getting Started Guide, which includes a tutorial showing you how to set up the service and perform basic functions with a queue.
