Hi, I am new to ruby and just trying to get into Rails. Very interesting and I hope I will be getting into it fast… thanks a lot to all the amazing work done on this project! OK, my question now 😉 How to integrate Amazon product search into rails? I want to put some books on my site wih he amazon API. I found this: [http://journal.gleepglop.com/articles/2005/06/06/amazon-on-rails](http://journal.gleepglop.com/articles/2005/06/06/amazon-on-rails) but unfortunately the example code is 404ed and I am not quite sure if I understood everything. So I f there is some more rails + amazone info out there I would be happy if someone could point me there! Thanks! Rubena ---

Hey Rubena ! I’m sure the Rails + Amazon integration has a lot smaller code base than the other integrations… that’s for sure 🙂 Since this is the Ruby group, you may want to post this to the Rails mailing list, at: [http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails](http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails) Ruby doesn’t imply Rails. # Thanks !

rad means rapid application development, but it’s also the name of a comic supervillain, apparently. ---
