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 to move data between distributed application components performing different tasks, without losing messages or requiring each component to be always available.
To use SQS, you must have an AWS account and be signed up to use SQS. For more information, go to the Amazon Simple Queue Service Getting Started Guide .
Use of this guide assumes you are familiar with the following:
XML (for an overview, go to W3 Schools XML Tutorial )
Basic understanding of web services (for an overview, go to 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 perform basic functions with a queue.
