Okay...So let's face it, we may love...errr.. like our jobs but sometimes stress at work is something that's unavoidable! Maybe it is a short-lived moment of problem-solving a solution or a 6-month long project that is making you feel the pressure; either way, it's always good to know how to deal with stress when it hits you. Did you know that when we are stressed our body actually focuses our energy and blood AWAY from the brain? Really, the more stressed we are, the less effective we are at actually doing our jobs! (A solid reason to ask for more vacation days I'd say!)

Recently, I was a part of this migration project in which a complete website was redesigned from scratch using bootstrap framework and data from the old site was migrated to the new site.

written by Lavish Kumar

Recently, I attended nopCommerce Days 16 (nopCommerce annual conference) in Amsterdam, Netherlands and I came across a business owner who mentioned that it is not easy to update product attributes in nopCommerce. His main concern was all about the manual effort that goes into keeping the product attributes up to date for each product as there is no easy way to perform a mass update.
