Abstract:
The business-to-consumer aspect of electronic commerce (e-commerce) is the most
visible business use of the World Wide Web. The primary goal of an e-commerce site
is to sell goods and services online.
This project deals with developing an e-commerce website for YSF Mobile Phone
(PVT) Ltd. It provides the user with a catalog of different Mobile Phones available for
purchase in the store. In order to facilitate online purchase a shopping cart is provided
to the user. The system is implemented using a 3-tier approach, with a backend
database, a middle tier of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and a web
browser as the front end client.
In order to develop an e-commerce website, a number of Technologies must be
studied and understood. These include multi-tiered architecture, server and client side
scripting techniques, implementation technologies such; as ASP.NET, programming
language (such as PHP, CSS, HTML), relational databases (such as MYSQL, Access).
This is a project with the objective to develop a basic website where a consumer is
provided with a shopping cart application and also to know about the technologies
used to develop such an application.
This document will discuss each of the underlying technologies to create and
implement an e-commerce website
