[ic] oh boy....

[G Guttero]

Ok, I do ALL the stuff for my business which takes up a lot of my time.  
I've been looking over the archive and the info is pretty much over my head. 
  What I need to know is, should I delve into the wonderful world of 
Interchange and get it down so that I can have control over my store and any 
I build in the future or will it be more than I can handle?

I'm not a total stranger to coding, I do know HTML and it seems very easy to 
me (impressed?), and I've heard that IC isn't a hard language to learn.  But 
I'll need to know what?  PGP, IC, and what else?  I do all the product 
photography, marketing, advertising, daily management, packing and shipping, 
accounting, customer service, web design, and everything else you could 
imagine for my business.  Yeah it keeps me busy, but it's actually not too 
over the top.  Can I handle Interchange too?  I had a buddy of mine doing 
the IC stuff before which is why I have a fully functioning IC store on 4.6 
right now.  He didn't build it from scratch, he just modified the Foundation 
store, and learned IC as he went along (he's quite a programmer), but he's 
had a bit of a spiritual awakening and won't go anywhere near a computer 
most of the time now.  So is this a do-able thing for me?  I DON'T want to 
learn PERL as I really think that would just be too much.  Can I get by 
without it?  Will Interchange overwhelm me?

I would really appreciate as many responses as possible.  Thanks a lot guys!
