Professional Commerce Server 2000

Microsoft Commerce Server 2000 provides a COM-based framework and suite of tools that can help you build and manage effective web sites - in particular e-commerce solutions - on the Windows 2000 platform. It supports catalog management, user profiling, content targeting, and business analytics, as well as providing a component-based 'pipeline' framework to simplify the implementation of linear business logic. This book explores the most important areas of the Commerce Server 2000 product, taking you through from product installation, and configuring and customizing the ready-made e-commerce solution sites, to low-level application of the component framework, integration with third party components and external systems, and site migration from Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition.
