Presentation by Aaron Schiff

For beginners who want to start an E-commerce site.

(case study)

Magento too new, buggy, too slow, without framework like Drupal

Drupal E-commerce... API strong, but not very good out of the box, buggy...

Started with alpha release, very easy to upgrade so far, fantastic community (Aaron has no affiliation with them).

Secure code, robust taxonomy.   upsell, secure pages (https), coupon, checkout enhancement

Not available for Drupal 6 until end of year, but someone pointed out that there is a not for production development version.

Starting from scratch.

Aaron didn't have the objective of covering installation, but http://www.ubercart.org/docs/user/3313/installing_ubercart shows the dependencies and install instructions, and there is an Uberinstaller (Automated Drupal and Ubercart installer for new Drupal installations) at http://install.ubercart.org/.
