Hamid has worked for Walmart for almost 20 years. He was talking to me about their online shopping options. He had been there long enough to see the start, changes, and current direction. Online shopping, pick-up, and delivery have been huge for Walmart. They are even doing special Black Friday type events that are only open on the online store. He was talking about how the online store is tied to your other in-store accounts and being able to help you repopulate your cart with items that you currently buy (personal purchase history stuff). We do some similar things but on a much smaller scale.

We talked about leveraging your data and helping to make things easier and easier for you to add things to the cart and get quick history or purchase history reports. That's some important data.

We are going to skip next week and then meet up the week after Thanksgiving. Hamid wants me to train him more on using ColdFusion and passing form data and values back and forth. Just for fun, we are going to work on a pizza ordering form for some training practice.
