fleeced Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I am currently working with v2.3.1, I am looking to learn all the programming languages used in OSC so I can really master it. I have developed a list of what I think OSC uses: HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, JQuery Are there any more ie. Ajax? Also, is there anything in v3.0+ that is new and I should be concentrating on for the future? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleeced Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 After attempting to change the design. CSS looks like it may be my first steep learning curve! Any views on the other languages used and required for v2.3.1 and v3 and beyond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NodsDorf Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 You pretty much named all the ones I've seen. Ajax and XML are used in some modules, and payment shipping modules use API communication. The core system in 2.3.1 is built on PHP, HTML, CSS, Java / Jquery, and MySQL / SQL for databases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The core system in 2.3.1 is built on PHP, HTML, CSS, Java / Jquery, and MySQL / SQL for databases. Just to clarify, Javascript and Jquery are used in OSC but Java(the type you see in your taskbar icons, now on version 6 - Java Runtime Environment (JRE) isn't used/required, is this correct? It is the look/feel I am concentrating on so I think HTML will take a backseat and I will focus on learning CSS. I have an intermidiate grasp of PHP and MySQL, through years of tinkering with older OSC versions. These latest versions 2.3.1+ have really changed underneath so I am just looking at what I really need to learn to master OSC in order to feel confident making changes for my work and others.

NodsDorf Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 That is correct I should have said javascript. OsCommerce Core 2.x Uses PHP / CSS / HTML / Javascript / SQL and API for communication. From what I have dimmed in the 2.3.1 system the new stuff is: A grid system, in particularly the 960 Grid System Jquery, themeroller and flot. Of all the languages HTML is likely the easiest to learn and tends to go hand in hand with the other languages in regards to designing a look. Hope that helps, Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
