I have worked using php, asp.net, C#, crystal reports and Microsoft SQL Database. Using these languages i created an online store for Marshallville Packing Company. This included creating the database and procedures in Microsoft SQL. The website was an asp.net website using c# as the main language. The website uses visual studio membership to create users, change password, and update profile information. The user can enter products into a custom shopping cart. When checking out the customer has the option of store pickup or shipping with ups. The website uses EasyPost for shipping link to the business ups account. The website for uses the authorize.net form for credit card payment. The company has administration account that can change, add and delete products, categories, prices, set sale prices. This also allows for cleaning the database of old shopping carts. The company has a separate c# program that allows for processing orders, printing reports, sending email when order is ready to be picked up or shipped. I used php to create an email form that validates user email and check for required fields. This form is sent to the company’s email.
