There are thousands of Open source, Paid, and SAAS based shopping cart software’s available online. If you are a newbie to online arena, decided to start your online business and don’t have a practical knowledge about coding websites this article can help you choose an appropriate platform for you business.
In order to build your foundation let’s take a look at different programming languages first on which these ecommerce shopping carts are developed.
PHP:
is an open source, server side scripting language which appeared in 1995 used majorly for website development. A benefit of using PHP language is it runs on web server and you can create a website even using notepad if you know how to write HTML code. Furthermore since PHP is freeware you can find million of free scripts on Google.
ASP.Net:
is a language by Microsoft that is majorly used to create dynamic and interactive web applications that basically runs & debug on server side before it appears on user browser and most of the software’s and module are not free. If you are just starting your business and don’t have a lot of requirements we will not recommend ASP.net.
JSP:
is a language by Sun Microsystems that helps developers to create dynamic web pages based on HTML, XML or other document types. JSP is similar to PHP but it uses Java programming language structure.
