Are there any commonly cited resources in learning the business of e-commerce? Let's say I want to put ads onto my page, or optimize my SEO, where does one go to learn current best practices for those? As a developer I feel like this is a part of the web I should know, but there seem to be many more resources dedicated to learning coding as opposed to the business side. Any guidance appreciated.

Any suggestions on the best places to learn current best practices on Angular 1.X as of July 2015. I feel like there are resources all over the place, but I'm not sure which ones the community has rallied around as the best.

I work for a large e-commerce company. We routinely find ourselves, despite our best intentions in the following situation:

1. We have an incomplete schema for our API, it's mostly stable but some changes will happen. 2. We know most of the front-end interactions we want, but more will be discovered and some might be changed. 3. Despite 1 and 2, we want to begin front-end development right away (in Angular or Backbone).

We can't be the first team to have encountered this pattern of software development. Are there technical solutions you've seen/implemented/read about to solve these issues? I'm talking more along the lines of app architectures, gang of four patterns or scripts/tasks etc.

I realize this is an open ended question, but while we pursue process and social solutions (more communication, earlier stakeholder engagement etc), are we missing out on technical solutions as well?
