Moving Forward
Quick Store is a fast-track approach to understanding e-commerce application
development. Hopefully, by going through Quick Store, you have acquired an
awareness of which SmartElements and Interactions can be used when developing
an e-commerce application in Drumbeat.
As well as getting acquainted with eStore, you have built a fully functioning store
front. You can customize this project file (or you can use the QuickStoreComplete
Starting Point) by adding your own graphics and adding product data in the
databases. For step-by-step instructions on how to customize the
QuickStoreComplete Starting Point, go to chapter 8 Customizing Quick Store in
the User’s Guide section of this book.
Your feedback will help us to develop new DrumNotes. The eStore DrumNotes
will further demonstrate the eStore components and how they can be used to
build advanced e-commerce applications. Send your comments and suggestions to
[e-mail].
