Awesome Developer Challenge Submission: Store + Shopping Cart
by Jon Mountjoy on January 7, 2009 at 06:32 AM
The developer challenge is still in full swing, and I've just spotted a great submission by Ritesh Gupta. It had a simple description "A shopping cart" - and it's pretty impressive.
You can check out the running application here - that's a nice thing about Force.com Sites, it lets you just point to running applications.
The application lets you browse or search various categories of items. It also allows you to sign in, implements a shopping cart, reviews, and more. I suspect the sign-in comes from Portal. (Perhaps Ritesh can tell us how he implemented the sign-in in the blog post comments.) It's a great application of Force.com Sites technology.
The deadline for submission is January 30 - so there's still plenty of time to develop your application(s). And of course, your apps don't have to be as advanced as Ritesh's application - the developer challenge guide points to a number of simpler projects that you can tackle. Drop by the developer challenge discussion board if you have any problems.
Good luck!

Ritesh, great job on building this app. Just wondering what other features you plan on adding for your next rev. :-)
All the best to you.

Jon,Thanks very much for featuring my entry.
As you have guessed,the sign in has been implemented by creating a customer portal and enabling login on site.
