Where Do I Go from Here?

Now that you've read through this guide, you have a good idea of the main tasks you need to perform to use Amazon SQS, and where to go in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide for more information and instructions. This section describes the next steps we recommend you take.

We recommend that your read the articles and tutorials available on the Amazon SQS Resource Center. Specifically, there are two webcasts designed to help you gain a broader understanding of Amazon SQS:

Read the Forum

We recommend you look at the Amazon SQS forum to get an idea of what other users are doing and questions they've had. This will help you further understand what you can and can't do with this service.

Look at Other Available Sample Code

You're already aware of the sample code that goes with this guide (for more information, see Preparing the Samples). You can look at other sample code that's available from the Sample Code and Libraries page, or visit the Developer Center for a specific programming language:

AWS Account and Security Credentials

So far you signed up for the service, got an AWS account and security credentials, and then completed a short exercise covering the essential product functions. Now that you're finished with the exercise, we recommend that you check with an administrator or coworker in your organization to determine if he or she already has an AWS account and security credentials for you to use in future interactions with AWS.

If you're an account owner or administrator and want to know more about AWS Identity and Access Management, go to the product description at http://aws.amazon.com/iam or to the technical documentation at Using AWS Identity and Access Management.
