Title: Reqiures User Regristration to Shop
Review: This book has one major flaw. The author discusses the advantages/disadvantages of using session variables when creating the cart and the advantages/disadvantages of requiring the user to create an account before anything can be added to their shopping cart. That is great, but then the author proceeds to use the database (require the user to create an account) method throughout the rest of the book. Tell me how many carts require you to create an account to put something in their basket? I think this deters most shoppers. After I realized that the rest of the book uses this method, I put it on the shelf. And thus the reason for the poor rating. I have now purchased VB Developers Guide to E-Commerce published by Sybex. I hope this one is better.
Is the review positive or negative?
