Homework 6
Your task is to create a new page which has two areas. In one area, you show
the stock price for Amazon Company (retrieved using Yahoo web services). In
the same area, you have a field that users type name of a book or an author to
initiate a search against the Amazon.com book catalogue. The returned result
from Amazon.com server is displayed in the other part of screen.
To use amazon.com REST services, you need to create a personal account for
yourself. Information about how to create an account and use their Services
are at http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=636&ref=featured. You may want to browse other pages at Amazon Web Services
Developer connection too: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=5
For yahoo part, look at the following link that shows how to add stock quote
to your web page: http://finance.yahoo.com/badges/
For the quote, you need to use real time so the quote will be continuously
updated during market hours.
