Commerce Server 2009 Training
This is a three day course designed to bring a .Net developer or architect up to speed on Commerce Server 2009. We assume no Commerce Server 2009 or 2007 experience.
Course topics
- Commerce Server Foundation, discusses the entity model based development for Commerce Server 2009. This is the key module of the course, but can only be handled on the third day after you understand the core systems in Commerce Server 2009. In the labs, you will use the foundation to create a Custom Operation Sequence component, browse a catalog and retrieve advertisements.
- After the module SharePoint Commerce Services, you will understand the SharePoint architecture, and how to use it to build Commerce Server sites. You will all understand the decision matrix, whether to use WSS, MOSS or aspx to build your sites. Note: While not a prerequisite, a prior knowledge of SharePoint will help you get the most out of this module.
- Installing, discusses the prerequisite hardware and software requirements to deploy Commerce Server 2009. You will do a complete deployment yourself and learn how to avoid some of the pitfalls of the two level deployment.
- Every minute an online shop is down costs money. This module Managing and Monitoring concentrates on keeping a Commerce Server 2009 installation running smoothly. You will perform some of the administrative functions around Commerce Server 2009 on Windows 2008 including the Security Configuration Wizard and the Best Practise Analyzer.
- This module, Staging will give you an understanding of an often neglected but essential part of Commerce Server 2009. How will changes from the development eno vironment reach the production environment? You will enjoy trying out a part of this process in our lab.
- Who wants to build an insecure shop? This module, Security will give you an understanding of some of the security issues to be considered with Commerce Server 2009.
- Most online shops have to integrate into the rest of the business infrastructure. In the lab for this module Connecting to Biztalk, you will integrate Commerce Server 2009 and BizTalk 2009.
- A successful shop depends on the feeback loop. During the labs for this module DataWarehousing, you will use SQL 2008 Analysis and Reporting Services to set up that feedback loop.
- The lab for our module Using the Partner SDK has proved to be our most popular lab. Here you will add auditing functionality to the business managers, and discover a hidden feature in Azman.
- A thorough understanding of the core systems is essential even with the entity model. The second day is spent giving a thorough grounding in the subsystems with the modules on the Catalog, Inventory, Profile, Order and Marketing Systems as well as caching and the infamous pipelines.
