Abstract

Delivering the high levels of reliability and availability required of business-to-consumer Web sites requires not only great technology, but also great operational processes. Building a scalable, highly available application is a necessary process in becoming functional as an e-commerce entity. Here the author has tried developing the most basic modules required in an online business, using Microsoft SQL-server, ASP and IIS Web server. All of the key processes and tools are covered in this store from retail storefront to back end management. The real scenario of this store is presented in the chapter 5 and source code is included in appendix. The author is going to develop a real world application using this model for the company that employs him.
