Synopsis

Today's e-Commerce-enabled Web sites are more complex than ever: it's no longer enough to simply add "shopping cart" functionality! This book shows developers exactly how to integrate a wide range of proven and emerging Web technologies to build a state-of-the-art e-Commerce site from scratch. The authors' example-driven, step-by-step approach offers an inside view of e-Commerce systems -- and provides Java, JavaScript, SQL and XML code that can help developers dramatically reduce time-to-market. Developing E-Commerce Sites starts with a quick refresher on the basics of establishing a Web presence, and a detailed overview of the key challenges associated with deploying e-Commerce and other sophisticated Web applications. Next, the authors introduce several of the key technologies that enable e-Commerce, including HTML, Java, servlets, JavaScript, JDBC, and XML -- providing detailed examples that solve real-world e-Commerce problems. Next, Developing E-Commerce Sites addresses the critical security, credit card verification, and site performance issues associated with e-Commerce. The book concludes by walking through the development of a complete e-Commerce system from start-to-finish, including database integration, user interfaces, and the creation of utility classes that can be reused in any e-Commerce deployment.

From the Back Cover

Having an e-commerce Web site is no longer a competitive advantage--it's now a competitive imperative. But constructing a profitable and effective e-commerce site involves much more than simply adding shopping-cart capabilities to an existing Web site. It requires an understanding of rapidly evolving issues and the integration of complex technologies.

Developing e-Commerce Sites leads you step-by-step through the process of building a sophisticated e-commerce Web site. This book brings you up to speed on the latest technologies and shows you how to integrate them into a customized e-commerce site that serves your organization's specific needs. Details and instructions are reinforced by carefully crafted code examples that incorporate empowering technologies.

In addition, the authors describe a complete e-commerce solution, illustrating system design, user interface, and utility classes.
