AWS Part 4: Blogging from the Road

Hi al,

I'm in London, England for an Amazon Web Services camp. It's a one day program that I'm really looking forward to. I starts in about an hour.

I was surprised by the number of things I had to do or download in preparation for the camp. Here is a list:

1. Sign up for Amazon EC2/S3, SQS and SimpleDB.
2. Install ElasticFox which makes it easier to work with Amazon EC2 images.
3. Install S3Fox which makes it easier to work with Amazon S3.
4. Download and install a trial edition of SDB Explorer.
5. Install and configure the Amazon EC2 command line tools
6. Download unzip the following archives:
   1. http://aws-bootcamp.s3.amazonaws.com/eclipse_installation.zip.
   2. This is just an installation of EasyEclipse Server Java with a few extra libraries.
   3. http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/distributions/server-java.html

I'll let you know how it goes.

Cheers!

--James
