More than a tutorial, this Microsoft Mastering learning system provides the professional-level instruction and code building blocks developers need to create business-to-business e-commerce applications using Microsoft's Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition, pipeline technologies, and BizTalk. The print-based curriculum steps learners through each stage of the development process, while the interactive lab exercises on CD-ROM provide critical skill-building practice with the techniques for building and searching catalogs, working with purchase orders, creating custom pipeline components, and working with EDI. The course also provides relevant coverage of XML, XSL, and COM. By the end of the training, students can create their own working, business-to-business e-commerce applications -- ready to run!
