Step by step guide to eCom development

I've done some dot.net development over time, but cannot be considered experienced as such.

However, now i have grasped how to do Custommodules and wants to move on to the eCom Extensibility API doing some price- & discount calculators

For this i have found the documentation showing small samles of code for each API.

Fine, but how to get to a point where i f.ex. a have the appropiate setup in VS2008 ready to do this ?

I have tried to attend the eCom developer training twice, but it was cancelled every time.

Could you please give me a hint here ?

And when you are updating the document anyway to take in account the changes done in DW, could you also extend the Extensibility API document in order to accomodate the above mentioned guidelines.

As I said during Tech Review we hope to be able to conduct the first ecom developer courses within the first quarter of year 2009. We're not able to do any training now as we have not material ready yet, but it is one of my top priorities.

About the appropriate setup, all you need is a project that is able to compile an assembly, which also includes your basic custom modules solution. In my blog there are various articles with code examples, and the ones that concern the Extensibility API simply consist of a class which we can use VS to compile and dump the assembly in the bin directory of our solution.

I don't know if you recall that I demonstrated some new VS templates, but they will be available for download on this site very soon, and they are great as kick-starters for ecom development.

We make additions to the extensibility API in every release and we strive to provide examples of usage for all new features in the Technical Release Notes document.

As you probably know we're working on a new developer/documentation site on which we plan to have a continiously evolving documentation base.
