title: What does eCommerce programming involve?
body: <p>I'm trying to land my first programming-related job, and I found a website for a company which is accepting resumes for an eCommerce development position.</p>
  
  <p>This is the requirements they listed:</p>
  
  <p>To be proficient in:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>HTML (hand-coded)</li>
  <li>CSS</li>
  <li>PHP</li>
  <li>Javascript</li>
  <li>MySQL</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Preferred skills:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>PEARL</li>
  <li>Linux</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The fact that they (unless they're actually using the PEARL programming language) misspelled perl and have a fairly bland portfolio aside, I can do all of this--I mean, I need to touch up on my Javascript and learn a bit more MySQL--but I can do all this, and I'm sure I can pick up perl in no time. But I was wondering--what exactly does an eCommerce developer do? Is this like, building shopping carts? User login systems? Or does it just mean doing everything except design on corporate websites?</p>
