dardub Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Well I started working on Magento and then I realized how helpful it will be to learn zf first. I'm still just learning zf now. At least you're going in the right order which definitely helps. I didn't get a choice in what cart to work with, so I don't know if any are better. But magento although frustrating at times is set up to do a lot. I'm not 100% sure since I'm new to both, but there is heavy customization in Magento. So there will still be a learning curve, but you have a good head start!

sunwukung Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 IME, while Magento has a lot of nice features, it's pretty hard work - and it DEVOURS resources. That's why you get Magento specialist hosting. Personally, I'd give Magento a miss and go for a different cart system - probably commercial for the sake of customer support.
