<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am currently working through exam <a href="http://www.test4site.com/70-536/">70-536</a> of the MCTS cert and would be grateful if someone could provide me with some assistance in one of the lab exercises.</p>
<p>In chapter 3 exercise 1, I am required to create a console application that will convert a text file (win.ini) to UTF-7 encoding.</p>
<p>The C# code for this is as follows:-</p>
<p>StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(@&#8221;C:\windows\win.ini&#8221;);<br />
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(&#8220;win-utf7.txt&#8221;, false, Encoding.UTF7);<br />
sw.WriteLine(sr.ReadToEnd());<br />
sw.Close();<br />
sr.Close();</p>
<p>I have tried to run this code and included the System.IO namespace, however I get the following error:-</p>
<p>&#8220;The type or namespace name &#8216;UTF7&#8242; does not exist in the namespace &#8216;Encoding&#8217; (are you missing an assembly reference?)&#8221;</p>
<p>If a reference is required, I am not sure how to add this, can someone please point me in the right direction?</p>
<p>Kind regards<br />
New Developer</p>
<p>If this is copied out of a copyrighted book, please remove.</p>
<p>Apart from that, take a look here as this may help.</p>
<p>-Ken</p>
<p>That did not work.</p>
<p>Which reference do I need to add?? as there are soo many!</p>
<p>Kind regards</p>
<p>Newbie Developer</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t add an assembly reference to a project you need to take a step back and start with the basics before you begin certification.</p>
<p>Its all about the baby steps !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hi everyone&#8230;.<br />
I was about to take anyone of above Microsoft examinations..I donno which one to take or which is better..Kindly guide me through this&#8230;</p>
<p>Welcome to the forums !</p>
<p>If you introduce yourself here first and tell us a bit about your background and IT knowledge/experience then someone may be able to advise you.</p>
<p>Without knowing that it&#8217;s difficult to suggest what you should do.</p>
<p>In order to gain the professional developers cert (MCPD) from Microsoft, you have to pass a few MCTS exams&#8230;</p>
<p>Being completed my B.Tech I.T n just i did a .NET course&#8230;.I got opportunity to write either of those exams..MCTS or MCPD&#8230;Dint have a clear idea about that&#8230;.(ie)..like which is more useful and beneficiary&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>MCTS would be great..</p>
<p>I think MCTS would be the choice!!!<br />
All the best mate!</p>
<p>Ken is correct, you must start at the MCTS level so the answer is MCTS, you cannot get MCPD with obtaining multiple MCTS credentials first.</p>
<p>Look at the MS site Ken linked too, there are also various microsoft diagrams in the back of their training kits, online and at their training centres.</p>
<p>have a look at this link mate..might help you..you need to complete the requirements for MCPD first!!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mcpd.aspx#tab2">http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mcpd.aspx#tab2</a></p>
<p>Hope this helps!!<br />
Cheers<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Yesss! Just passed the 70-562 exam with good score and got the MCTS certification for Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 3.5 ASP.NET Applications!</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-16" title="MCTS_Logo" src="http://endre2b.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/mctsrgb_1102.png" alt="MCTS" width="361" height="80" /><br />
Let me share some of my experience&#8230;</p>
<p> &#160;</p>
<h3>Preparing the Exam</h3>
<p>I passed the foundation exam (<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/Exam.aspx?ID=70-536">70-536</a>) in August and took me one and a half month to prepare for this one.</p>
<p>I set as primary goal to learn and apply it, not just pass the exam. So I used both the official preparation guide and a few good books to cover some of the aspects the training kit did not cover well enough, as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/MCTS-Self-Paced-Training-Exam-70-562/dp/073562562X" target="_blank">MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-562): Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5<br />
ASP.NET Application Developmeent</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430215674" target="_blank">Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C# </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.apress.com/book/view/9781590597897" target="_blank">Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.apress.com/book/view/9781590598658" target="_blank">Pro ASP.NET 3.5 Server Controls and AJAX Components </a></li>
</ul>
<p>For the training kit, I took the approach of reading through the different chapters of the book, doing the labs and then taking the practice tests.</p>
<p> &#160;</p>
<h3>Taking the Exam</h3>
<p> The required score to pass is 700/1000. There is only the pass or fail grade as the end result; beyond that the actual score you get does not have any importance.<br />
During the exam, I took the approach of getting through the full set of questions once, and then going back for review each of them.<br />
One thing you have to consider is that there is a slight delay between the questions (in order of 4-8 seconds). In other words, you need to consider these as well when setting up your time for review.</p>
<p> &#160;</p>
<h3>My Points and Suggestions</h3>
<p>1. Take the training kit as a guide only. You can get a deeper knowledge by practicing and reading the details on the documentation (MSDN).<br />
2. During the exam, there are questions that can be found only in books other than the prep guide. Good guessing is the key for these. For example, the mobile section needs further reading.<br />

<description><![CDATA[Pakistan has popularly been quoted as the land of doctors, engineers, scientists, bankers and worker]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Pakistan has popularly been quoted as the land of doctors, engineers, scientists, bankers and workers. Every once a while however there comes a star that turns the world attention to itself. Babar Iqbal is one such Pakistani Star who has raised the bar on early achievements in the field of Information Technology.</p>
<div id="attachment_442" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 399px"><img class="size-full wp-image-442" title="Babar-Iqbal" src="http://publicrelationspakistan.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/babar-iqbal.jpg" alt="Babar iqbal receives an acknowledgement from the President of Pakistan" width="389" height="307" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Babar iqbal receives an acknowledgement from the President of Pakistan</p></div>
<p>Babar Iqbal is <strong>World&#8217;s Youngest:</strong></p>
<p>1. Certified Internet Web Professional (CIWP)</p>
<p>2. Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP)</p>
<p>3. Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA)</p>
<p>4. Microsoft Student Partner (MSP)</p>
<p>5. Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS)</p>
<p>You can learn more about Babar at his personal website at <a href="http://www.babariqbal.com" target="_blank">www.babariqbal.com</a> .</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/EbXLHv1a-Vg&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/EbXLHv1a-Vg&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><strong>Supporting Pakistani IT Talent</strong></p>
<p>Another important aspect of this individual&#8217;s story has been the talent support infrastructure. Babar has been able to achieve and share so much due to financial &#38; organizational support by companies like Microsoft. However Babar also mentions that he is not being provided any support by the Pakistani government to share his talents and technical skills with other fellow Pakistani IT students and professionals. Babar provides IT student consulting in the Middle East supported by Microsoft. It must not be any difficult for Pakistan&#8217;s <a title="Ministry of IT &#38; Telecom" href="http://www.moitt.gov.pk" target="_blank">Ministry of IT &#38; Telecom (MoITT)</a> to setup a dedicated cell that maintains a database of  leading Pakistani IT professionals and support them in sharing their skills with the Pakistani IT industry. Infact the <a title="Pakistan Software Export Board" href="http://www.pseb.org.pk" target="_blank">Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB)</a> which is also an arm of the MoITT may look into organizing workshops for technical training utilizing such leading professionals. The <a title="Pakistan Software Houses Association" href="http://www.pasha.org.pk" target="_blank">Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA)</a> can also play a key role in facilitating the PSEB. This would go a long way in building national confidence into depending on indigenous resources and strengthening of the professional network.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-13" title="Microsoft Sertifikası" src="http://hintsofajunior.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/mcts-card.jpg?w=150" alt="Microsoft Sertifikası" width="150" height="95" /></p>
<p>Yazılımcı biri için olmazsa olmazlardan bir tanesi de sertifikalar. Hani sözüm ona bir konuda çok iyi olduğumuzu ispatlamak adına hemen gidip onun sertifikasını alıyoruz. Çeşitli müşteri ve kurumlar da bu sertifikaları bir başarı ölçüsü olarak kabul ediyorlar.</p>
<p>Hindistan’da 12 yaşında çocukların aldığı bu sertifikaları almak gerçekten bizleri iyi birer teknik personel yapıyor mu?</p>
<p>Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) 1.6 ve Microsoft MCTS sertifkalarının her ikisine de sahip bir yazılımcı olarak bu konuda bir kaç kelam etmek isterim.</p>
<p>Java Sertifika sınavları gerçekten ciddi sınavlar. Çalışmanız ve hatta zaman zaman öğrencilik günlerinize dönmeniz gerekebilir. Pek çok konuyu içermekle beraber, konular daha çok bu hata nasıl bir exception fırlatır tarzında low-level. 3 saat civarında süren bu sınavın soruları çeldirici şıklarla dolu. Her detayı bilme hevesinde olanlar için son derece tatminm edici bir sınav.</p>
<p>Microsoft ise sürümden kazanma hevesiyle neredeyse sokaktan geçene sertifika veriyor. Konuyu bilmenize gerek yok. Ezberiniz kuvvetliyse internetten bulduğunuz soruları yapıp çıkıveriyorsunuz. Diğer yandan soruları daha high – level ve çeldirici olma hevesinde değil. Verileri nasıl depolarım? Server’ı taşırken neler yapmalıyım? Ve benzeri tarzda sorular da sınavın içerisinde mevcut. Size google’da 15 dakikada bulabileceğiniz soruların cevaplarını sormak yerine daha makul bir genel kültür veriyor.</p>
<p>Peki Sertifikalar gerçekten anlamlı mı? Yaptığımız işin kalitesini artırıyor mu? Tabii ki bazı konularda biraz daha ilgili olduğunuzu kanıtlıyor fakat bunun dışında hiçbir şeye kanıt olmuyor. Mesela bakın bana. Sertifikalarım var ama mutlu değilim? Dur ben bir de Oracle sertifikalarını deneyeyim. Belki oralardan bir şeyler çıkar.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The only book I had is Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Implementation and Maintenance Training Kit. I used three weeks to read through this book three times. Although I have been using SQL Server 2000/2005 in my company for almost five years, really, this book gave me a lot more to know. If I didn&#8217;t decide to take the MCTS certificate test, I would never know that there actually a lot more things I need to know to handle my daily works. This book kind of refreshed my knowledge.</p>
<p>I passed 70-431 with 982 on non-performance based items and 1000 on performance based items. My next step is 70-444 towards the MCITP</p>

<description><![CDATA[After some time with no blog entry, I started to think of something else that I could do to bring mo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="clear:both;">After some time with no blog entry, I started to think of something else that I could do to bring more content into the blog. I think that chronicling my journey to try to get into to the tech industry from a completely unrelated field is worth talking about. As many of you may know, my formal education experience was in Music. I was a Music Education and Music Composition student at a private college in Northern California for 3 semesters before I withdrew from the school and decided to start new and make some big changes in my life. My decisions up to this point, have gotten me to North Carolina, in an area that I would love to stay in and hopefully settle down in over time. </p>
<p style="clear:both;">So&#8230;I believe it is important to start from the beginning:</p>
<p style="clear:both;"><strong>What was my first exposure to computers?</strong></p>
<p style="clear:both;">I, like many born in the 80&#8217;s, have grown up with computers and have seen them evolve over time. Some of my first computer experiences are tied to my dad who was a geek at the time. He was always on the computer, and it often got him into trouble because internet connections were paid for by the minute. Also, because of where we lived it was a long distance call so it added up to a lot of money over time. Once there was a $500 phone bill that took several years to pay off, because of my dads love for technology and embracing &#8216;new things&#8217;. He didn&#8217;t do well in traditional school, because he was often bored. This was something I could relate to, although I did &#8216;alright&#8217; in traditional school by at least graduating with Honors from high school and getting accepted to a great college. He taught me how to use DOS and how do perform functions that were relevant to me at the time. I found myself playing a lot of games, and I remember &#8220;Loom&#8221; and &#8220;Joost&#8221; more than anything else as my favorite games. I really do feel that my dad was a big part of why I discovered computers at an early age, and why I have always been intrigued by them growing up. Also, with him being gone (he left on his own will, he didn&#8217;t die), I think it is some way that I will always feel connected to him, even if we never truly have a relationship. </p>
<p style="clear:both;"><a href="http://musicytechgeek.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/macintosh_classic.jpg" class="image-link"><img class="linked-to-original" src="http://musicytechgeek.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/macintosh_classic_bw-thumb23.jpg?w=200&#038;h=161" height="161" align="left" width="200" style="display:inline;float:left;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" /></a>My first personal computer was a &#8220;Macintosh Classic&#8221; and it was given to me from my elementary school through the donated computer program that they had. We were just looking to get a computer in my hands, and it is what was given to me. To be completely honest, I didn&#8217;t really use it. I thought the OS was clunky and I really didn&#8217;t see any use for it at the time other than doing word processing. I can&#8217;t say that I did at a lot of word processing at the age of 10.</p>
<p style="clear:both;">After that, I got my next computer through my moms work. They are a big company, so when they upgraded to new hardware, they sold the old hardware to employees for reactively cheap. It was a tower PC, that was pretty crappy, but I decided to take it and replace the components. I remember first upgrading the USB ports to USB 2.0 and then slowly replacing everything until it was a brand new computer. This was my first &#8216;hands on&#8217; experience working with computers and taking them apart and putting them back together. I did some research at the time, but a lot of what I did was trial and error, and if it didn&#8217;t work when I put something in I just did everything I could do to finally get it to work. My mom is STILL using this computer. However, this is soon to change, because I finally got her used MacMini which will be her first Mac! I will blog about my experience teaching her Mac in the future! I don&#8217;t think she reads my blog, but if she does, I love you mom, and happy BDay and Christmas! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p style="clear:both;">That computer got me through high school and lasted through college. I did my first composition on that computer, and it is really crappy compared to my computer standards now, but it has been a beast. I got started on most computer information that way, and I may ask my mom if I can get it back at some point just to have and to store for sentimental reasons. Since college, I have had an iBook, a PowerBook G4 (FW 800) and now I&#8217;m on an iMac (current early 2009 Model). I have gone Mac, primarily because of the integration with media and the software that comes standard on every Mac. For my personal use, I couldn&#8217;t imagine anything else. I&#8217;m not a gamer, so it works for me. I will soon post a list of my favorite mac apps, and what I tend to use the most and for what purposes. </p>
<p style="clear:both;">I think that my &#8216;journey&#8217; into computers has been pretty normal. I don&#8217;t think that I did anything really geeky until the last 5 years of my life, when I really started to embrace technology a lot more. For me, it was a big emotional struggle to change my career focus. I was only focused on being a music teacher for so long, that I really didn&#8217;t consider anything else until I had made the move out of state and started to fend for myself. It was hard for me to admit that I had made a wrong decision, and that I perhaps made the wrong focus for so many years. I love music, and it will always be a big part of my life, but when I got to college and realize that I didn&#8217;t want to study it formally like that, and that I just wanted to experience it, it was hard to handle. I struggled with &#8216;my purpose&#8217; for a long time, and it truly was something I thought about A LOT. Sometimes, I do think about it now, but I&#8217;m really happy having the opportunity to be involved in the music world, and for the most part, be well respected within the flute community. I&#8217;d like to focus more on composition again, but that will happen once I get things more inline. I will not even suggest that my time in the music world was a waste. It changed my life. Music was the first thing to save my life, and teach me the things that I needed to be successful in the world. I needed it a lot when I started it because I needed some outlet for creativity, and it was there. Music is a great combination of logic, emotional, and skill, and it is something that I will ALWAYS love strongly and want to be a strong part of my life now and in the future. I know, I&#8217;m rambling, but finally, you are getting me! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  I think eventually, there will be a good balance between my focus on technology and music, but right now, it is time that I focus on understanding technology more and more, and making sure that I can build the skills to start a career.</p>
<p style="clear:both;"><strong>My current situation: </strong></p>
<p style="clear:both;">Although I have accomplished a lot up to this point, I am not currently happy with my work situation. I&#8217;m working a job, and that is all it is. Because of that, the need for me to get into my career path is much stronger. I&#8217;m tired of having a job that I don&#8217;t care about, in an industry that I really didn&#8217;t want to really be in, in the first place. I&#8217;m just happy that I have gained some corporate experience, and I&#8217;m sure that it will be valuable as I move forward.</p>
<p style="clear:both;">I am considering going through the tradition education route to get certified to work in the technology industry; however, because of time, costs and lifestyle change, I have been looking into &#8216;non-standard&#8217; routes for getting in. I have developed some contacts in the area that work in the tech industry, and they all work in different aspects of it. The people I know, range from network administration to programming and consultation. I&#8217;m sure there are more, but it is a pretty good basis to get opinion on when trying to get into the industry. They have all recommended that I get into the tech industry by getting certifications. &#8220;A degree will help you move up, but certifications will get you in the door and help get you the experience that you need to move up.&#8221; That is basically what was told to me by everyone I know, and I have to say that I agree. A degree came easily become obsolete, and certifications, if kept current, can be a lot more valuable over time. I do see the point of traditional education down the road, but right now, it isn&#8217;t my first option to try to get into the tech industry.</p>
<p style="clear:both;"><strong>What are my current options?</strong></p>
<p style="clear:both;">1) Traditional school &#8211; Start working my way through an Associate of Applied Science in Computer Information Technology and then make sure to meet the requirements for the local program that offers a Bachelors of Science online (ECU does offer this) for those who have completed an AAS and have a CCNA certification. This is a possible option, down the road, but right now, it isn&#8217;t my priority.</p>
<p style="clear:both;">2) Certifications &#8211; Gain knowledge and experience by proving myself and my ability by getting technology certifications and slowly get into the industry. Either I can study for them on my own, or consider technology certification programs that help you learn and understand the material for the tests.</p>
<p style="clear:both;"><strong>These are the certs I&#8217;m interested in:</strong></p>
<p style="clear:both;"><strong><em>CompTIA A+</em></strong><em>; Diagnose and troubleshoot computer hardware. Including building and repairing computers. This is commonly known as the &#8216;entry level&#8217; certification. There is the A+ essentials test, and then the 220-602 for specialization in customer focus, 220-603 for remote repair and customer support, and 220-604 is used for repair desk technicians. The A+ Essentials is required to be passed as well as one of the other specialized test to get the certification. </em></p>
<p style="clear:both;">CompTIA Network+; Network troubleshooting and management.</p>
<p style="clear:both;">CompTIA Linux+ ; Linux administration and functions.</p>
<p style="clear:both;"><strong><em>MCDST </em></strong><em>- Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (Install, configure, and manage Microsoft XP in the business environment)</em></p>
<p><strong><em>MCTS</em></strong><em> &#8211; Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (Install, configure and manage Microsoft Vista in a business environment)</em></p>
<p style="clear:both;"><strong><em>MCP</em></strong><em> &#8211; Microsoft Certified Professional (Install, configure, manage, and troubleshoot many kinds of network servers)</em></p>
<p style="clear:both;">MCSA &#8211; Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (Learn advanced server skill sets to manage and maintain a networked environment for small to large companies).</p>
<p>CCENT &#8211; Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (Install, operate, and troubleshoot Cisco equipment in a business environment. </p>
<p>CCNA &#8211; Cisco Certified Network Associate</p>
<p>CCNP &#8211; Cisco Certified Network Professional</p>
<p style="clear:both;">The bold and italic listed certifications are what I plan on focusing on right now. Currently, I&#8217;m working through the A+ certification book that I have so that I can take the test by the end of the year. I&#8217;m currently looking into a certification program to help me learn the information for some of the certifications that I would like to focus on. This would allow me to have an in class environment with hands on experience. As I work through each certification, I am going to be posting key points from each that I figure &#8216;everyone&#8217; should know, or at least everyone who is interested in technology as career.</p>
<p style="clear:both;">I hope to be a little more involved and writing a little more as I get things in line. Getting out of my current job, and into a job in the tech industry is really important to both my partner and I right now. I really look forward to growing into things, and seeing where my skills take me. </p>
<p style="clear:both;">Bye for now!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Merhaba,</p>
<p>Bu makalemde sizlere E-Ticaret&#8217;in avantajları hakkında bilgi vereceğim. İlk olarak E-Ticaret&#8217;i seçmesi gereken</p>
<p>firma yapısını ele alalım.</p>
<p>Son yılların modası haline gelen E-Ticaret ve Sanal Mağazacılık günden güne hız kazanmakta ve neredeyse<br />
<!--more--></p>
<p>her firmanın olmazsa olmazı haline gelmektedir. Peki nedir sanal mağazacılığı cazip kılan?.</p>
<p>Aslında her firma sanal mağaza kurmaya elverişli olmayabilir. Sattığı ürün sanal ortamda ravet görmeyebilir.</p>
<p>E-Ticaret&#8217;te birinci faktörlerden biri satılan üründür. Peki internet üzerinden satılmıyacak bir ürünü orda sergilemek</p>
<p>ne gibi zarara yol açar? aslında size maliyeti yanlızca site ve barındırma masrafıdır. Bu fazla olmayan maliyet karşısında</p>
<p>ürünü sanal mağazadan çekmekte pek birşey fark ettirmez. Tabi bu diğer ürünleri ravet gören büyük sanal mağazalar için</p>
<p>geçerli. Onların yapısı gereği kategorileşme vardır. Bir sanal mağazada ne kadar çok kategori olursa bu bir nevi o kadar çok</p>
<p>katlı dükkanlı alışveriş merkezi demektir. Fakat E-Ticaret&#8217;e yeni giriş yapmak isteyen ve sanal mağazacılık hakkında pek fazla</p>
<p>bilgisi olmayan firmaların çok dikkatli olması gerekmektedir. Teknolojiye ayak uydurcağım niyetiyle zararda edebilir. Çünkü</p>
<p>sanal ortamda ravet görmiyecek bir ürünü tek başına internet üzerinden satmaya kalkmak, soğuk kış gününde mayo satmaya</p>
<p>benzer. Alıcısı varmıdır ? tabiki olabilir fakat onun hedeflediği müşteri kitlesini hiç bir zaman bulamaz. O yüzden satılacak ürün</p>
<p>seçimi çok önemlidir.</p>
<p>Peki  ürünümüz sanal mağazadan satışa uygun bir ürünse E-Ticaret&#8217;in burda faydası ne olacak? İlk önce yeni bir bayi açtığınızı</p>
<p>varsayın. Ve bu bayi aslında yanlızca bir semtte açılmadı, aynı anda Dünya&#8217;nın her bir yerinden, 24 saat ulaşılabilecek bir yere açıldı.</p>
<p>Evet çok az bir masrafa artık ürününüzü tüm Dünya ülkelerinde pazarlayabilirsiniz hemde çok fazla emek harcamadan. İşte sanal mağaza</p>
<p>eğer ürün iyi seçilirse, firma sahipler için inanılmaz bir fırsattır.</p>
<p>Peki özetlersek E-Ticaret için gereken maddeleri şu şekilde sıralayabiliriz.</p>
<p>1-Ürün seçimi</p>
<p>2-Müşteri seçimi</p>
<p>3-Ürünü yansıtan bir web sitesi tasarımı</p>
<p>4-Güvenli alışveriş sağlayacak bir alt yapı</p>
<p>5-Satış sonrası destek</p>
<p>Temel ilkeler bu şekildedir. Daha fazlası firmanın prensipleri doğrultusunda genişleyebilir.</p>
<p>Saygılarımla,</p>
