I have a prospective client that currently uses Miva Merchant as their e-commerce solution. They would like me to add functionality that I have done before with Magento. I know that Miva uses its own proprietary scripting language, but how similar is this to other languages? How steep is the learning curve to be able to modify core functionality of the shopping cart?
Are they're any resources out there to try developing for Miva without purchasing it?
you can download Miva Mia here: http://www.mivamerchant.com/products/mia/
you will also ned MySQL and the database connector to develop locally. If you are familiar with PHP you should be able to pick up on miva script fairly easy.
Hope that helped!
You may also want to check out the Miva Merchant forums for help when you get stuck plus tips & tricks. It is very active, you can find the forums here: http://extranet.mivamerchant.com/forums/

how to implement adobe muse with CMS like magento
Sounds like you're asking a web designer question on a programming section. Since their major blurb is:
Create gorgeous, custom websites without writing code.
If you know Adobe InDesign you’ll know Adobe Muse, the graphic designer’s favorite web-building app. Skip the coding and quickly design unique sites using familiar features and shortcuts, and integrate third-party functionality like blogs and shopping carts.
it probably doesn't fit well with database driven, template presentation websites. A product built for people who don't want to get their hands dirty, or if they're attempting to run Magento, need to hire people who understand the programming issues needed to run it.
I want to develop an e Learning website where B.Tech students will come, explore the courses from various streams, see the videos, can take assessments, see their scores, improve their skills, can give their feedback, can chat with experts.
I do not want to use LMS like Moodle, eFront, etc.
How good it is if i use PHP framework like CodeIgnitor, CakePHP, Zend or YII?
Any advises & inputs will be highly appreciated.
It's very hard to answer without knowing exactly your system requirements, so I'll give you a general response regarding the preferred frameworks in 2015: http://www.sitepoint.com/best-php-framework-2015-sitepoint-survey-results/
As you can see, Laravel is the most popular framework nowadays, so you should be able to find a lot of resources/modules/components that may speed your development.
But then again, you may want to evaluate each of these frameworks against your requirements, your desired PHP version, performance in your servers and your PHP knowledge and select the framework that best fits you. To get you started, here's a sample review done by someone in 2013:

I'm a web designer and so I learnt everything essential needed for designers and now I can design the websites using joomla.
But I want to move myself to programmer. I have very basic knowledge of php and mysql. I wanted to know how can I enter into development with joomla.
Joomla has been very popular in the world but also it has not implemented so much effort for the users. It is providing a tutorial but randomly, so I'm confused how to start. There is no any sites step by step tutorials for joomla.
So, anyone please help me how to start on the topics. Could anyone provide a lists what to learn as to become a developer of joomla?
Well first of all, you need to know about the versions.
There are 2 types of Joomla releases. Long Term (Joomla 1.5 and 2.5) and Short Term (Joomla 3.x)
Joomla 1.5 is old and unsupported now so there is no need to look into it.
If you want to start developing for Joomla, then you simply need to read up on the documentation and start messing around with pre-made extensions. You will also need to do research on how MVC works if you are not already familiar with it.
Hope this helps
you can get help from a nice book such as Joomla! Programming
We are setting up a new e-commerce site and while trying to figure out which platform to go with, I would like to know, is there way to migrate from MagentoGo to the Enterprise edition?
Cheers,
Iraklis
p.s. In case you want to contribute to our platform quest, feel free to write your thoughts on this post,
Both editions should have support. I would ask Magento what options you have.
Having said that, you can probably migrate most of the product information using the API and/or DataFlow. That will require you to write a script that takes the information out of Go and then put it into Enterprise Edition.
Orders will probably be a more complicated beast. There is an API available for orders so you will probably need to use that. However, migrating payment information may be tricky as you will likely charge the customer again. I would probably change the payment method to Purchase Order and put the PO value as "Migrated Order".
However, the first thing I would do is talk to Magento about what kind of options you have. I have to imagine that they have created a method for people to migrate out of Go and into Enterprise. They should be based some somewhat the same code so maybe the database can be moved over as well.
I was just reading about Magento, a free framework for easily creating an ecommerce site. I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar, easy to use framework that is designed specifically for social networking sites.
Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
I've seen a few people mention MonoX (based on ASP.Net), but I've not had a chance to evaluate it yet myself: http://www.mono-software.com/Pages/MonoX-ASP.NET-Portal-Framework.aspx
Ning.
Edit. The Ning business model is, they host your community for free and they get the revenue from adverts on the site. If you want to host it yourself you can, but you need to license the software.
Edit 2 I recommended Ning because I participate in a community hosted there. A minute's Googling through Elgg which seems to be more what you're looking for, but I haven't had an direct experience of it.
Laconi.ca (micro-blogging - which could be considered a subset of social networking). It's an open source option on which you could base a project (plugins have already been developed).
You could try something like JomSocial, which is built on top of Joomla.
Having just looked at this question again, you might find that Drupal is pretty useful in building a social networking site too.
We have recently built a private social network for a client, based on Drupal, and lots of the functionality is a pretty good match, particularly if you include modules such as User Relationships and Organic Groups.
I hope that helps!
