Final Thoughts

The PseudEcom site is complete now. It includes several kinds of applications typical of e-commerce sites, and most of them are based on MySQL. The site is presented in a way that displays pages using a consistent appearance and that allows visitors to navigate the site easily. In addition, the site’s appearance and layout are controlled largely by library routines, so other areas can be added to the site relatively easily to extend it. It’s up to you to decide what kind of applications you might want to add. If they involve a database (and they’re likely to), so much the better—MySQL will help you accomplish your goals.
