XML and DOBA Products for E-Commerce

I recently created an advertisement and product listing site at http://BTMDeals.com.  Some of the products I list on my site come from a wholesale provider company called Doba.  Using my background in XML, Xpath, and XSL I have come up with some creative ways to more efficiently update my web-site and list products in other marketing forums, including an Feed.  Using some common open source products, I can manipulate the Doba watchlist data export to be represented in many different formats and easily uploaded or copied to sites, RSS Feeds, e.

In the upcoming months, I hope to embark on developing an e-commerce site from scratch based on open source standards and using the technologies that I have come to learn in automating some of the mundane tasks that consume a significant amount of time for e-commerce site owners on a low budget and tight schedule.  As things progress check back often to see any new posts.  Or subscribe to this feed and look for feed titles including Doba and e-commerce.

If you are a current Doba customer and would like to know if some of these technologies could make your e-commerce business more efficient, please contact me at BTMSoftwareSolutions.com.
