Professional Commerce Server 2007

by Wade Wegner, Tom Schultz

There are currently no other books on Commerce Server 2007 in the pipeline, yet the developer community is screaming for an advanced resource to aid in the development of the hundreds of new Commerce Server 2007 sites in development. Just as other technologies like SharePoint 2007 and BizTalk 2006, Commerce Server 2007 is a mature product built on the .NET framework, and pulls together technologies including ASP.NET, BizTalk, MSSQL, COM+, Active Directory Services, SharePoint and MOSS 2007, in addition to a wide array of back–end systems. In the end, Commerce Server 2007 is a development framework upon which a developer can leverage their existing knowledge to build highly flexible, robust e–commerce applications. This book is logically organized and includes a vast array of examples and scenarios that make it easy for developers to use in real world scenarios. While this book will not include the standard "hello world" example, it will instead include a series of sophisticated real–world examples that will enable a developer to successfully build an e–commerce site.
