+If you prefer to build applications using language-specific APIs instead of submitting a request over HTTP or HTTPS, use the libraries, sample code, tutorials, and other resources provided by AWS. These libraries provide basic functions that automate tasks, such as cryptographically signing your requests, retrying requests, and handling error responses. These functions make it more efficient for you to get started. For more information, see [Tools to Build on AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/developer/tools/).
