TechieTogs: An Example E-commerce Site

Over the last eight chapters, we have covered a lot of new technologies, skills, and techniques and seen how they can be applied to accomplish specific programming goals. Now the time has come to put WebMatrix to use in a real-world context by building a realistic e-commerce application.

The application we will build, TechieTogs, will be an e-commerce site that sells clothing. The public-facing side of the site will feature all of the elements you would usually expect to find on a shopping site, such as a catalog, shopping cart, and checkout. The product catalog will be managed using a series of pages that are only accessible to site administrators, thereby providing full CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) facilities.
