The BeerHouse is a sample application that orginally came with Marco
Bellinaso's book 'Asp.Net 2.0 Website Progamming Problem-Design-Solution'.
Its 600 pages of documentation on how the BeerHouse was put together and a
great little book. I think you can get it from Amazon for $30 or so. It
teaches you a lot about architecture as well. Also, there is a VB version of
the code download at the publisher site (as well as the C# version).

I know this is a FAQ and a noob question so thanks in advance to anyone who
assists!

I did a few ecommerce projects way back in 1999-2000. Back then, I used
StoreFront (an ASP product). I'm in the process designing my first
web-store in several years and a lot has changed since then. So before I
jump right back into using StoreFront which is an expensive tool, I
thought
I'd ask around for ideas. I'm an experienced asp developer but my
ecommerce skills are very rusty.

My requirements are pretty "standard". I'd like it to be asp.net (VB!)
based and MS SQL on the back end. I downloaded the Beerhouse sample
application from the asp.net web site but unfortunately it was in C#.
Furthermore, it contained very little instructions or documentation (you
get what you pay for I guess).

I'm considering using StoreFront again which will cost about $2500. It's
expensive but they'll pretty much do it entirely for me. Do you guys have
any other suggestions?

FWIW - I'd be willing to offer drum and percussion equipment at cost (no
joke) in exchange for development and/or assistance. I don't mind getting
my hand dirty with code but at the same time, I want to limit my learning
curve. If it's too advanced, I don't mind paying someone like StoreFront.
I'm more interested in launching ontime as opposed to "saving" money.

Thanks!
