I am wondering what type of technologies and programming languages high end online stores use, for example www.guitarcenter.com and www.alibaba.com have very nice interfaces and I'm considering starting in web design. I have a good understanding of C++ so I'd like to know what they use, and maybe a good place to start learning.
What technologies do online stores use?
You probably want to learn PHP to do dynamic pages and use MySQL as a database. Most website hosting companies provide you with these tools. PHP is easy to learn if you know C++ and MySQL interfaces very easily with PHP.
The PHP website has a nice tutorial check it out: http://us2.php.net/tut.php
One really good article to look at is this http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/arti...
Once you get the hang of PHP %26amp; MySQL everything else is pretty much the same, just different languages and databases.
The hardest part for me is getting the right "look" I am a programmer so I can code great! but not much of a designer so my pages do everything I want them to but they look like crap.
But design is definitely a big part of presenting your website.
