Hi all,
I am a rookie. First time I will be doing this and I have no clue what to do and how to handle it.
I've started using Ubuntu last year and I love it. Now I need to learn how to build an e-commerce site in Drupal.
Hope I can be transformed into a "Drupalist"

Hi all,
I started drupal trend with ubercart last month. It is great to build a shopping cart. Now, it will be delivered soon by ubercart core function. But with lack of advance features.
The usage is complex at first.
But I don't give up.
Now, nearly to smell sweet.
:D

Interesting. There is already a E-Commerce / Ubercart Workshop for $350. Point is I bought a ticket for the workshop awhile ago, and I just saw this. Wondering how different it will actually be. The topic list here is quite thorough it seems.

I guess the main difference is this is one hour, while the workshop is all day.

Vraja,

I am too late to buy my ticket for the Ubercart training. If you want to sell your Ubercart training ticket let me know.

Best,
Jack
