Hey there OBRA'ers.
My business partner just finished a book on developing
web applications. There's a companion example web site
the book often refers to, which happens to be a bike
commerce site (kinda like nashbar, performance, etc.)
We're adding products to the database via a web based
interface, so virtually anyone can add products without
doing any programming or HTML. Just click here, there,
and poof, done.
If anyone would like to add a few products to the site,
contact me off list and I'll give you instructions.
They can be as funny or outlandish as you want. You can
add categories (eg brakes, wheels), or products to those
categories (eg avid disk brakes).
I don't know if anyone would want to play with it or not,
but I though I'd ask. We'll add a site credits page and
enter your name, town, and brief message to the world
(mainly computer geeks like me).
The site URL will be http://www.thirdwheelbikes.com, but it's
not launched yet as we're finishing up some of the code.
If you're curious, the book can be seen at:
