Ok, I am a big time rails noob and I need to pull some products dynamically from amazon. I have done it before with Zend''s PHP framework, but im so lost with ruby and rails. I have seen and tried to get a couple things going. Like http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-amazon/. I just need a good tutorial on how to set it up. Everything I find seems to assume I know something. Well thanks to any help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Well thanks to any help.It''s probably a good idea to get a feeling for Ruby and Rails using some of the standard tutorials. The Agile Web Development book is a usual first step, but there are other books and numerous tutorials on the web. To get started (presuming you have a development key and associates ID), put the ruby-amazon files in your lib folder, then load up script/console and type: > require ''amazon/search.rb'' > include Amazon::Search > req = Request.new(dev_key, associates_id) > result = req.asin_search(''097669400X'') You might also like to look at my loads_from_amazon plugin: http://jystewart.net/process/archives/2006/07/loads_from_amazon-ruby- on-rails-plugin/ http://projects.jystewart.net/svn/rails/loads_from_amazon/trunk/ James. -- James Stewart : Web Developer Work : http://jystewart.net Play : http://james.anthropiccollective.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
