osCommerce

osCommerce (“open source Commerce”) is an e-commerce and online store-management software program. It can be used on any web server that has PHP and MySQL installed. It is available as free software under the GNU General Public License.

Home Page : http://www.oscommerce.com/




osCommerce was started in March 2000 in Germany by project founder and leader Harald Ponce de Leon as The Exchange Project. As of August 2008 the osCommerce site says that there are over 14,000 'live' websites using the program. This number is almost certainly conservative, given the inclusion of osCommerce in hosting panel application installers such as Fantastico (web hosting) and its dependency on osCommerce users linking their sites into the osCommerce Live Stores listings.

In November 2010 the development of osCommerce v2.2 was met with another stable release. Version 2.3, as it was branded, takes advantage of the benefits of Tableless web design, and includes a number of social networking tools.

Version 3.0 has been released on March 31, 2011 and is a major re-write of the program to incorporate an object-oriented backend, a template system to allow easy layout changes, and inclusion of an administration-area username and password definition during installation. The latest version is 3.0.2, and was released on 6 August 2011.

osCommerce is absolutely free under the GNU General Public License and caters very well to most people’s needs. Unsurprisingly, considering how easy it is to set up and run, it’s extremely popular, powering over 228,700 online stores. Such popularity does come with a significant downside however- it makes it harder for you to differentiate your store from the thousands of others out there. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you’re going to need to use some of the 5,800 add-ons available, some of which cost money.

Magento

Magento is a feature-rich e-commerce solution that offers merchants complete flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store. It includes flexible product display options, mobile templates, transaction options, multi-store and multi-site functionality, user accounts and loyalty programs, product categorization and shopper filtering, and discount and promotion rules.

Homepage: www.magentocommerce.com

Magento offers flexible, scalable eCommerce solutions designed to help businesses grow and succeed online. The Magento platform is trusted by more than 150,000 businesses, including some of the world's leading brands.

Customers choose Magento because our cost-effective solutions—built on open source technology—enable businesses of all sizes to control and customize the look and feel, content, and functionality of their online stores.

Magento is an open source e-commerce web application that was launched on March 31, 2008. It was developed by Varien (now Magento Inc) with help from the programmers within the open source community but is owned solely by Magento Inc.. Magento was built using the Zend Framework. It uses the entity-attribute-value (EAV) database model to store data.

The Magento Community Edition is the only free version of Magento available.

Magento uses several key coding practices that make the system both versatile and adaptable both as a web platform and as an e-commerce platform.

As an e-commerce platform, Magento allows for features including flexible product display options, mobile templates, transaction options, multi-store and multi-site functionality, user accounts and loyalty programs, product categorisation and shopper filtering, and discount and promotion rules.

As a web platform, Magento uses its own take on the model-view-controller (MVC) model. The differences between the traditional model and Magento's model are the following:

•  The use of a layout file to control what's displayed on each view.   
•  The use of "blocks" that can be inserted into any view easily via the layout.
•  The use of a model re-write system.

Magento is well known in its developer community for its use of object-oriented programming (OOP) and especially for its use of the EAV model.[citation needed] This allows Magento to be much more versatile than most e-commerce platforms at storing a large range of data.

These features give the system versatility and adaptability, allowing multiple websites and themes to be run on the same set of layout commands, same set of blocks and even the same database. However, the drawback of these systems is that they result in slow load times, for which Magento compensates with additional caching and database indexing.
