I am very familiar with UD and HTML, but i would really appreciate it if someone could give me some advice on how to setup an online bookstore. I have no background knowledge of programming, but am very keen to learn coldfusion/asp. I need anyones help on which is best(asp/CFM) and a step by step 'tutorial'/ or any help on how to get started. The bookstore would have to have a search facility to search through the different books. --- Please any help would be so appreciated!!!!!

I've used both ColdFusion and ASP, and I would have to say that since what you're doing is creating a database--ASP would be your best bet. The basics of VBScript is easy to learn, and UltraDev can write a lot of it for you.

As far as a step-by-step tutorial goes, you're asking for a lot, and I don't think anyone is willing to sacrifice that kind of time. I would suggest getting to know VBScript/ASP by starting with small projects, using MS Access database files and UD's tools. Also, use online references like www.devguru.com and of course, UDZone.

Best of luck!

Hi Silix,
Thanks for the advice <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> - What kind of things have you done in ASP. Any e-commerce sites??

I started off with ASP like a yr ago and I built an e-commerce site so I'd also say you go for ASP.. pretty easy to understand..
