Electronic Commerce is an essential resource for anyone considering starting an internet business. This text discusses the advantages and obstacles of online commerce with examples of successful e-commerce businesses and how they did it. Detailed chapters covering website design as well as payment and security issues which are critical to keeping e-business in business. Lastly, a glossary of internet terms, a listing of electronic commerce online services and e-commerce conferences which are particularly useful for beginning e-commerce business owners.

Electronic Commerce provides the reader with the latest information and research material to start their own e-commerce business. The chapters present topics on security, electronic payment methods, protocals, payment systems and much more. A guide to the enclosed cd provides more resources and software to help setup an e-business. An appendix provides an up to date index of e-commerce conferences. A book everyone should uses and have as a e-commerce reference.

This is the best consolidated reference on e-commerce that I've read. Most books go way overboard into technical mumbo jumbo and put the reader to sleep. The teamwriting of Loshin, Vacca and Murphy work very well in this book by breaking up the aspects of e-commerce into very digestable spoonfuls of wonderfully relevant information. Data in this book is highly up-to-date and the examples and references used are well organized and easy to read. The sections on computer security is especially fascinating. Read how our existing e-commerce providers and users try to keep our data systems secure. A must read. A++ for this book.

I highly recommend buying this book! It's everything you wanted to know about e-commerce and more. Every question I had was answed somewhere in this book. The writing style was easy to understand and never boring. It's well worth the money! I will continue to use this book as a reference.
