nopCommerce upgrade and .NET version port
Electron Microscopy Sciences has supplied microscopy, histology and laboratory products since 1969, and had been running the same website for twenty years. The site was rebuilt as a database-driven store on nopCommerce. I worked the backend side of that migration, porting the code to the newer .NET version the newer nopCommerce release required.

What went into it
-
Porting across .NET versions
The previous site ran on the .NET version its older nopCommerce release supported, so moving to the newer nopCommerce meant moving the code forward with it. I worked through the domain classes and models to bring them across.
-
Backend support through the migration
Supported the team on backend work throughout the upgrade, which is where most of the friction in a major platform jump turns up.
-
From static pages to a database-driven catalog
Product and pricing updates had been slow because content was static. Moving the catalog into the store took that off the manual list.
-
Published case study
nopCommerce published a case study covering the project and its results. https://www.nopcommerce.com/en/electron-microscopy-sciences-generating-non-brand-organic-traffic-to-drive-net-new-sales
