Basically I am a PHP Developer and very soon moving to Demandware Platform. I would like to Know what are Languages and technologies which are used in Demandware and like to start learning myself. Please help.

Answer 1

Demandware itself is written in Java but the coding syntax is entirely different. It basically consists of the following

• ISML files - that are similar to HTML files with additional DW syntaxes

• ds files. These are script files that can perform backend logic

• xml Pipelines - Visual/Functional representation of a logic is given in a Pipeline. ex. Cart-MinicartAdd would add an item to the minicart.

• css,js These are normal css js files that are used like in any other web application
