Amazon.com & other e-commerce sites...
Hi guys,

i am interested in the technical aspects of e-commerce sites... so was thinking if any of you could give me a lowdown of what i need to learn? Thanks!

e-commerce is quite complex. You are probably best off learning html, then a bit of databases then move onto ecommerce. Are you looking to start your own shop?

no road map needed. www.google.com

first search for "HTML beginer tutorial"
Then "PHP tutorial" and then "mySQL tutorial", however at this stage you may want to buy some books, or visit your local library

HTML should only really take you a day, however the technical stuff is a lot harder (in my opinion) and will take a little bit.

If you dont have a host you may want to install easyPHP, which will allow you to create PHP files and mySQL files.

I get the impression you actually want to learn, however if you are trying to learn this so you can make your own shopping cart etc, then it would be a lot easier to use paypals shopping cart, or buy a cheap one

Buy some books on web design or used a shopping cart that you can have others install and customize for you.
