Coding wise, you better use a real good methodology (gotta do that at all
times anyways :P ). Net(fo'got the name) uses fusebox as said on their
site. Database wise, you better depend a lot on stored procedures and
triggers :) makes things a lot easier and faster. I started working with
ASP last week, and passing data back and forth from the DB is a nightmare
since I am so used to coldfusion's so very easy query thingamajig. But the
ASP project I was updating really relied on stored procedures, and updating
it was simple! Although passing variables and such to the stored procedure
was still more of a headache than using CF's super dee duper stored
procedure param tags =). Stored procedures are your friend!
Try to code your site to make the code updated easy. Try not to spaghetti
code, and all that stuff they taught u in programming basics. As far as
functionality is concerned, think about how cool you want this application
to be, then consider if it's worth the time and money. Then think think
about how you want the clients to set up a store, and lay out things
logically.
