nna_bu_ike:

I am aware of this, but we are speculating on what would be the best approach for someone who is not a developer.

Afam4eva:
The same can be done for other web scripting lnagues eg PHP, Pearl, Python, ASP.net, JSP etc. I think you're referring to programming languages such as C, Jaca, C++ etc

nna_bu_ike:

True, but considerably more overhead is required to do this.

I mean how much simpler can you get:

<?php echo "xxxx"; ?>

Phder: This thread reeks of ignorance.

I'm telling you!!!

Phder:
A novice would do well by hiring a developer if he/she really wants to build the app from scratch. Unless the idea is a billion dollar idea, I see no reason why he shouldn't make do with already existing CMS, saving time and money at the same time. He could always outsource CMS editing works to designers and developer, if he's tech savvy and not on deadline he can learn by trying it out himself.

nna_bu_ike:

I am assuming that the op would be collecting online payments, which probably wouldn't work in Nigeria. The other parts of the system will be fine though.

Afam4eva:
I don't disagree with your point that PHP is easier and that's the reason i have stuck with it but i just wanted to know what angle you were coming from.

Alishachris:

I think he is talking about paymant processor that comes with those carts

Then you just use integrate the ones that work here

adexsimply:
Bros, what are you talking about? Voguepay, GTpay and other online payment gateway work perfectly in Nigeria!

nna_bu_ike:

It is a matter of how much control that he wants. My philosophy is that one is better off building from scratch(assuming that he is capable). In the long run it always pays off. Trust me.

nna_bu_ike:

That is why I mentioned earlier that there are some respectable payment gateways in Nigeria.

adexsimply:
No sir, It'll never "pay off".

nna_bu_ike:

I am assuming that the op would be collecting online payments, which probably wouldn't work in Nigeria. The other parts of the system will be fine though.

webdezzi:

it will work, GTPay, DiamondPay, webpay, zenith global pay, all do this
GTPay just added support for accepting international cards which makes any developer recommending other listed platforms to client, argghhhh!
Plus GTPay just upgraded their old looking interface.

Soloter: for ease of development use PHP but for tight security use JEE /J2EE.

CallmePROF: Nairalanders..... Pls i too want to get a website running. I need advice on" the best domain and hosting site". The amount they charge should also be put into consideration...... "not too expensive". THANKS

Afam4eva:
How do you mean "They cannot work here"? Every platform and programming language can work anywhere.

Afam4eva:
PHP is also a programming/scripting language like Pearl.
