It is hard enough to keep up with all the stuff coming out of Microsoft for developers. Although I don't think there will be rush to upgrade to the newly released SQL 2008, the case for .Net 3.5 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1 is different. ASP.NET Dynamic Data, Script Combining and AJAX History alone are features that make it almost irrestible to upgrade the .Net Framework and the tool used to program against it.

I expect the second feature to be a strong one among DNN ... Read More »

The steady growth in registered users (600.000+ and counting) and downloads for the platform produces not only a growing installed base of users. Lately, the wealth of resources related to Dotnetnuke is evident as well. Almost everyday I come accross blog posts and articles about DotNetNuke. Although most are code related, desining and user oriented content is found throughout the web.

It is not news that DotNetNuke brought the web to novice coders, non-developers and h ... Read More »

Today Core Team member Vincenç Masanas gave a presentation about Localization in DotNetNuke. And it reminded me about the use of a Client API feature that has received little publicity.

Dotnetnuke is very lucky to have Jon Henning as part of the Core Team and the Client API is mainly a result of his work on the area. While my Gallery team mate Matthias Schlomann was doing work to make Gallery an XHTML compliant module, he also did extensive work to complet ... Read More »

Two days ago I posted a link to a recent conversation between Michael Desmond from Redmond Magazine and DNN founder Shaun Walker. Today, a follow up blog post at the magazine's site expands on the Open Source On .Net topic and mentions Shaun's opinion about insufficient attention to DNN and its ecosystem by Microsoft.

Should we have a warmer embracement by the Redmondites? And ... Read More »

As time goes by, Dotnetnuke is making wider splashes in the Media. I remember an article by Jonathan Goodyear published in Asp.net Pro magazine a couple of years back. Now the Redmond Developer magazine has published a short interview with Shaun Walker. DNN is no longer a novelty framework and as it's typical of the second semester of every year since its launch, DNN will make the news again with the Cambrian rele ... Read More »
