We won’t be fiddling around with too much code or anything. The purpose of this chapter is to help you to understand what is actually going on when your site is working. For example, when a user clicks on an item he or she wants to buy, how does the application know to add the item to the shopping cart? How does that information even get added into the system? How does the system know who is logged in? How does everything end up being nicely laid out, and is HTML solely responsible for the user interface? Basic questions like these will be answered over the course of this chapter without the need to run through reams of theory.
The technology and software side of osCommerce is really not the whole picture. Knowing how to use the online, community-based resources available to you is also an important aspect of osCommerce. Accordingly, we will look at how the osCommerce community plays a role, in the development in the osCommerce Online Community section. This section is especially important as it will play a large role in providing solutions to problems as well as providing off-the-shelf functionality—both of which you will use at some stage.
