Why an online pet store?
We chose to build an online store for a fictional pet retailer similar to the Java Pet Store released by Sun and the Microsoft .NET Pet Shop. Both of these applications use the page-browsing model of the web. While the web provides an excellent user experience for browsing content, we believe the current user experience for web applications makes even simple activities like online shopping too difficult, and more complex interactions like those in traditional client/server and desktop applications almost impossible. It is unlikely that we will be seeing many real online pet store businesses in the near future, but Pet Market can be used as a model for a wide variety of applications that can be built with Macromedia MX. Other sample applications built with Macromedia MX include a car dealer extranet, an address book, an online record store, and a product configurator.
