New E-Commerce website problem! Please help me?
Where I am-
I have decided to program the site myself.
I bought a domain from godaddy.com
I bought dreamweaver.
I decided to use paypal as my shopping cart.
My Problem
Is there any good e-books or blogs or books about programming an e-commerce site?
I’m a college student in 30,000 dollars debt, so any advice will be greatly appreciated.
















Copy the code from your paypal account also register at freelance websites like http://getafreelnacer.com/ , http://scriptlance.biz/ and bid for all web designing projects posted there.
Try this book.

It’s teaches you how to build an e-commerce application using asp.net. It covers paypal and other payment methods. It is well reviewed on amazon and there are versions available for php and ruby on rails.
If you’re not set on doing all the coding yourself you can look into opensource shopping carts like oscommerce or zencart etc.
Wow, you took on quite a project. being a college student is one thing, but taking on an E-commerce site is a BIG project. There are plenty of options of how to do it, but doing it yourself is going to take some time, especially since it appears to be new to you.You will need some server-side coding so I suggest you learn about ASP and some others. This allows you to communicate with the server and do the shopping cart function.
