Summary

"With .NET E-Commerce Programming, you not only sharpen your programming skills but also get a full set of code solutions for building an online store." "Written for experienced programmers, this book details the entire process of planning, building, and managing an online store with Visual Basic .NET, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, and SQL Server 2000. It begins with an overview of technology and terminology and then moves on to planning, showing you how to design the database for the store. In this phase, you'll use Visio for Enterprise Architects to translate requirements into SQL code. From there, you'll begin building the shopper interface, creating a catalog, shopping basket, and checkout process and adding features that will enable users to view their order history and edit their profiles. You'll create and implement cohesive, browser-based functionality for managing the catalog, taxes, shipping charges, and orders." "Database, front end, and management - those are the essentials. You get much more, though: advice on selecting and managing a server, tips for implementing up-sell and cross-sell marketing tactics, and instructions on localizing your store for consumers worldwide. Everywhere you turn, the focus is on reaping the special benefits .NET offers your e-commerce project: shorter development times, improved scalability and performance, easier application integration, and tighter security."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
