Just Wondering?

type of programming language?

[olimits7]

Hello,

I was just wondering does anybody know what type of programming language large ecommerce websites like amazon, buy, overstock use?

I tried seeing if I could see a .php, .jsp, or .asp extension on their product pages but no extensions are shown in the address box.

Thank you,

I'm not but it looks like Overstock is using either Perl or Python. I highly doubt either one of them is using an OTS cart.

You can't always rely on the extension either. Although the extension may sometimes be evident, it may be deceiving. It is quite easy to make a .asp site look like a .jsp site, etc. by changing the handler at the server level. You'll often notice pages with forms that have a .html or maybe even no extension at all -- what server-side technology are they using? Nothing is certain, except one little trick ... visit the company's hiring pages and see what type of talent they are seeking ;)
