Been a bit quiet here and elsewhere recently, so thought I would make a splash return by writing up a new eBook for oscbooks.com
Designing 2.3.1 – The Complete How To
This eBook takes you on a journey from standard out of the box 2.3.1 to a site which is completely different and very good looking.
You’ll have a primer on the 960 grid system, .css, html, a little bit of PHP. And how it all hangs together in osCommerce…
Not just that, you’ll learn some good tricks of the trade as well as how to make and integrate your own code. I also found a good “slider” powered by jquery, which I show you how to install on your front page.
Here’s the site you’ll make
What you learn while following this tutorial will be invaluable when you come to make your own osCommerce site(s).
Go and have a look at Designing 2.3.1 on oscbooks.com
Excellent news! I’m always on the lookout for explanations and how to’s, thank you Gary for putting this together! 🙂
Thanks Isa 🙂
Great ebook! I’m glad I bought it. And Gary thanks for your support. I highly recommend this ebook for newbies. The standard OSC look is such a drag and this ebook injected some life into my website. I have a highly modded site and I was able to make the upgrade with little difficulty. I can’t wait until Gary produce a more advanced design ebook. Now the 960gs is not so scary.
On my “to do” list was getting around to improving the design on our sites. Gary’s ebook is exactly what I needed. Easy to read. Concepts explained very well. Lot’s of tips, tricks and tweaks to get a site looking good and working very nicely.
