Review
The focus of this guide is on building an online CD store (with some clothing, like T-shirts, thrown in for good measure). The approach presented here combines ASPs using VBScript and ADO for calling SQL Server stored database procedures on the back-end. Instead of implementing every whistle and bell, the author shows what works for a small online store. Early chapters let you design the database and get up and running with a workable browser interface, including a shopping basket, order history, plus tax and shipping computation. Later chapters add administrative and management functions for changing what products are available (among other options). In its final version, this Web site gets support for cross-promotions and putting products on sale.
Although the solution here doesn't take advantage of MTS/COM+ on the middle tier, you can expect good results with this approach because of stored procedures. The book also does a good job with planning for scalability with sections on Web server architecture and performance tuning. For more advanced development, this title also provides a thorough tour of more advanced options for e-commerce on the Microsoft platform centring on Site Server, Commerce Edition (with its customisable pipeline model). The text closes with a consideration of the sample stores available within this package.
E-commerce on the Windows server platform can certainly be daunting. This easy-to-understand book delivers an approachable tutorial to practical and successful development with some most important Microsoft tools. This title can definitely let readers succeed in building sites that work for real-world, online commerce. --Richard Dragan, amazon.com
