Hi all,
I have an assignment due (asp.net in c#) that requires us to think of a
large-scale online stores allowing for thousands of users at a time to
be logged in, creating accounts and so on. We have been told to choose
either sessions and / or databases to hold necessary information but
I'm a bit stuck (and very interested) in how it would really work! Can
anyone point me in the right direction here? A web reference, a good
example online or something please? I don't think this course is very
indepth, so forgive me for the silly questions...I just don't see how
using a session on one or even a few servers would be the best thing to
do, nor would calling and somehow storing somewhere else (in the
session too???) all the user's account information when we're talking
about thousands of users at a time - wouldn't this clog up the memory,
speed or whatever else of the web server(s)? How is it really done (in
asp.net and c# of course!)?
Many thanks in advance for any guidance :)
Lara
