I want to build a company to demonstrate and sell our products. It should be a catalog of products that can be edited. Each item should have a picture, description, price and people can make orders.
I can develop the catalog in Ruby on Rails or Asp.net MVC, but I have yet to get familiar with online payment tools. Are there any security issues I need to consider?
Since this site is basically a CMS site, I am also wondering if there is any free CMS template I can use, too.
Thanks.
If you're going to be handling the actual sale of products (I.E., handling credit cards), there are MANY security issues you need to consider - the most significant being the requirements of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS).
Unless you're looking to make at least full-time operation out of this, I'd strongly recommend using a hosted solution - even something like an Amazon or an eBay store, both of which should meet your requirements around a picture, description, price, and handling of orders.

By following schema.org web page, I designed a single product page on a website for my client. I've followed most of the schema required to enlist a single product on a single product page.
My question is, can I mention other products on the same single product page under category anything close "You may also like"?
If so, should I add schema to those products too?
Thank you
Yes. In general: the more structured data, the better.
Schema.org defines properties for this purpose:
isRelatedTo for a "somehow related" Product
isSimilarTo for a "functionally similar" Product
(And for special cases, isAccessoryOrSparePartFor and isConsumableFor.)
Yes I think you should open it to more products. By doing so it allows the users to look at a product and then possible find stuff that they may also like. Also the user is more likely to see more products by doing so there for you show more of the product increasing sales.
Maybe what you mean is "Related Product" or "Bundle Promo" feature? for me is a good trick to attract more customer attention to view or bought another product on the same transaction :)

I'm asking because I am not sure what kind of person we'll need to hire (ASP? Sitecore? Angular? JQuery) to implement the following for us:
Our school is looking to make data on courses (JSON format, about 600 courses) available as an “online catalog.” The static info (programs information, resources, etc.) will be hosted in Sitecore 7.
We’d like to see the online course catalog closely integrated with the rest of the site, so we’re looking for best approaches on how to do that.
Some manipulation of the JSON data is required: course detail pages should be simple enough, but we’ll also need to have course listings (not necessarily displaying all 600 courses at once, in one long list, but segmented by programs, class formats & locations, etc) as well as a “course search” functionality.
Would Sitecore do that well enough out-of-the-box, or would it be better/easier to go with something like Angular JS on top of Sitecore?
Please ask me for additional info if I had left something important out or if anything is unclear.
I agree with Dijkgraaf comment but to provide you with answer; Sitecore is suitable for your requirements but is a framework which means out of the box it won't meet your requirement so you will need a Developer who knows Sitecore and by extension .NET (Sitecore is built on .NET).
These developers will also know how to work with JSON, most likely serving it up from Sitecore via a .NET technology called Web API. The JSON can then be manipulated with Javascript or AngularJS. It is not as common for Sitecore developers to be familiar with AngularJS however.

Does anyone have any ideas on measuring the popularity of an open source project? I thought it would be interesting to create a tools which would compare the popularity of similar open source projects.
The first metric that came to mind was to compare the number of Google results for each specific software, but it seems difficult to programmatically obtain this number (other than scraping it from the direct search page - this also runs into legal issues with Google I believe).
Any other metric ideas? I'd like the end product to be a tool, so metrics which are able to be accessed through code would be preferred.
Thanks,
Chris
If the projects are hosted by platforms like Sourceforge or Github, you can access the number of downloads...
SourceForge offer download statistics;
http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=263007&ugn=dvwa&mode=week&type=prdownload
Google Code have activity ratings.
Maybe you could use those?

I'm considering trying to get more granular analytics for my sites than the free plan on my current provider, Clicky, provides.
Piwik looks like a strong contender in the analytics space (and I'm surprised I haven't heard about it before) but I want to be sure I'm not throwing the baby out with the bathwater by swapping to it.
Does anyone have any experience with this software and - in particular - are there any people out there who've tried customising the code or developing their own plugin?
To add to ghommey's response: we're also using Piwik right now and it fits the bill for our purposes. Separating IP ranges isn't really a concern for us as we use separate development and deployment servers.
As for customizing it, I've written a couple of Piwik plugins, one of which served to enable SSO for our (non-PHP) project. Writing the code itself has been relatively straightforward; however their authentication cookies violate the HTTP cookie RFCs (RFC2109 and RFC2068) in that they use illegal characters so there might be also other dragons in places.
AS of the latest release (q1 2010) filtering IPs is possible.

my company is very LAMP based as of now, and my management had decided to send a hardware guy and a developer to this MLG workshop. From what I check online it's mostly MS trying to bundle up a whole lot of their stuff and try to sell it to us to solve our problems.
Plus the fact that most of what we use now are pretty much open source tech, LAMP, purchased 3rd party libraries.
So I feel this is more of a management thingy rather that what a developer should attend. Have any you guys attended this? Or is this is waste of time as far as a developer need is. If it's not then I would probably talk to my team lead who's more managerial like than me to attend :P
thanks.
Go there yourself. If you send managers there, MS could succeed in selling them stuff, and then you would be forced to use it.
... I'm confused why any of you would bother attending this when you're an Open Source LAMP shop. Is a switch being considered??
