Open Source Amazon S3 ActionScript Library
Christian Cantrell has released and open sourced an Amazon S3 ActionScript 3 Library. This can be used to send and retrieve items to an from the Amazon S3 storage service from an Apollo application.
We posted a video of Christian showing of an appliction that uses the API a couple of weeks ago.
You can find more information here.
What exactly will this be used for?
Will we be able to promote books we have written with this?

Amazon S3 is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.
Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.

Thanks for posting about this. I’ve been itching to write a Flex front-end to S3, now I’ve (almost) got no excuses.
Did you catch the Amazon Web Services presentation at Mix07? I’m surprised that Microsoft isn’t as evolved in this area as Amazon.
