I was searching for some good osCommerce tutorial articles and/or resources for developers. Actually using osCommerce package, it is easy to create online store quickly. It is an open source and completely free project for all to make an online shopping store. During my searching to several sites, I found a very useful site that offers video flash tutorials and/or training. I think both the online shop owners and developers (if working for maintenance as administrator) can be benefited from these video training pages. Actually these video trainings are more helpful for the online store owners who want to manage their online store built on osCommerce by themselves.
Well.
Here is the link: http://www.demodemo.com/tutorials_osc.html
And you will find video trainings on the following subjects:
1. Installing osCommerce
2. Configuring your store
3. Adding categories
4. Adding products
5. Adding product attributes
6. Configuring currency
7. Adding payment modules
8. Adding shipping modules
9. Configuring sales tax
10. Editing your home page
11. Editing left and right columns
12. Editing your header and footer
13. Creating specials
14. Managing customers
15. Sending out a newsletter
16. Sending out email
17. Managing your banners
18. Backing up and restoring your database
Although the page lists topics like Installing osCommerce and Configuring your store, I would like to recommend the store owners to give this work to a professional site developer(s).
But one thing is important to mention. That is – you can only install the simple looking online store using osCommerce package following the Installing osCommerce tutorial. But to give it a professional & customized look and feel, you need to go to any professional developer. The developer then can changes the skin of the page to make it cool looking.
That is all for now.
