Hey guys,

Would love to learn what the skillset is required to develop a site like Amazon/Ebay.

I'm interested in perhaps outsourcing one soon to develop a similar site, but just for a subniche.

What would be the best set up for it? What kind of people/knowledge is required?

Thank you in advance.

eBay was coded in C++ early on, assuming it was legit I found it on TPB. Good idea if you ask me, security wise.

Yes, since C++ is famous for its security against buffer overflows, heap corruptions, stack corruptions, format string exploitations etc. etc. etc. :D
 
Lol how would someone program a website in C++? Maybe the http server was programmed in C or CPP.

Any ways, you need to learn PHP and SQL to do something like that. You need to become pro at PHP and you can create anything you want.

Maybe you should try java it is much widely accepted for big enterprise projects

See Wikipedia:

The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard (see RFC 3875: CGI Version 1.1) method for web server software to delegate the generation of web content to executable files. Such files are known as CGI scripts or simply CGI's; they are usually written in a scripting language.

Ebay is not simply a website, it's a platform. The backend can be in any language. The frontend(html,php and all) is mainly for presenting data and UI.

The backend does all the heavy lifting, stores all info, process bids etc. then forwards the result to the "html bits".

I learned today that you can in fact use C++ to program a website :) To the OP: I highly doubt people would leave eBay or Amazon for a smaller, less established site..
