kevincarter Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Hi, I have a shop and I?m thinking to open it online too. I have no experience with Os commerce and only know a bit of HTML and graphic design. Do you think I could do the programming by myself? I mean, is that realistic? Could I learn with books, tutorials and forums or is this just suicidal? I don?t need anything too special, just a basic online shop. Thanks! :thumbsup:

Thanks! :thumbsup: Based on what I have seen mentioned here in the forums, this is how a large number of people start out with oscommerce. You will be frustrated and aggravated but if you stick with it, you will also succeed.

brukita Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I'm begginin' now with it... I only now a little c, c#, html and java.. but only a little... I need to do the shop for my mum... i hope it will be operative someday. I've been watching the forum and i think it's great. Well, I must return to fight with the shop ;) Kisses and Thanks! Montse
Guest Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I muddled through from basic oscommerce install to some intermediate superficials and coding changes, with just the info from this forum and a few PHP tutorial sites. I had some moderate to advanced HTML experience, and I know a little visual basic and java but not much. This is our result: http://halfpricehomeschool.com . It's not 100% modified and tricked out, but we think it's very attractive and functional. One suggestion... get a host that offers Fantastico, or another way to install oscommerce automatically... it saved me a ton of install headaches. I was able to jump straight to configuring and modifying.
njtermite Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I would say jump right into it and get your hands dirty, just keep a fresh copy of OSC at your fingers. Also get yourself a good text editor. When I first started out learning php, I read a book called ?teach yourself php in 24 hours? which was very helpful. Regards, Mark :D
