Is Cubecart a complex web application or not ??
What is your definition and how do you back your argument. (the more technical the better)

I have to do a presentation on a complex web app and was thinking of using Cubecart but not sure if it is appropriate.
Any thoughts most welcome.
Thanks

Is complex a good or bad thing? Your question is a little ambiguous. smile.gif

Not realy sure Al,

The presentation just says a complex web app !!

Dont think it means complex for the user, more like a thick/ thin client technology, developement complexity, stuff like that.

My suggestion would be that it is a complex application, in that it is a multi-faceted system in terms of both code structure and functionality, and that the component parts integrate with each other. Let's hope those years of studying software engineering at university (over 16 years ago now) paid off in my answer. laugh.gif

Im thinking along the same lines as you Brivtech.
Even down to something as simple as the use of sessions, security or external gateways to integrate third party systems.

For some folks, "complex" may be as simple as providing a different display based on session data. As such, any cart would be defined as such.

A system using hundreds of separate PHP files, dozens of database tables, and interoperability with other apps (such as Authorize.net or an affiliate software), is more than qualified as a "complex" application.
