As a developer of hundreds of custom DotNetNuke extensions I have to say one of my favorite enhancements to the DotNetNuke platform over the last few years was the inclusion of the new DotNetNuke Form Pattern that was part of the 6.x release.  By incorporating a consistent design pattern it became trivial for extension developers to build modules that had similar UI patterns and would thus have consistently styled applications.  By doing this it is possible to make the understanding of flow within your applications easier as you are leverage a UI style that more similarly matches that of the platform itself.  However, as with any new feature it hasn't came without a few "bumps" in the road.  There were a few changes between 6.x and 7.x that have caused a bit of a problem for those of us that have already adopted the patterns, or those that might.  In this post we will look at these differences and the one small change that you can make for a seamless experience regardless of if you are targeting 6.x or 7.x!

Securing the login of your DotNetNuke site is very important, but often neglected for the wrong reasons. It shouldn’t be because SSL adds a performance overhead to your site. It shouldn’t be because SSL certificates are expensive either. But most of all, it should not be because it is hard!
One of the new major additions in DotNetNuke 6.0 is the Extension Gallery. If you read this blog post from Joe, you may already...

Just a few days ago we released the first beta of DotNetNuke 6.2.  Right before the release, Will Morgenweck informed me that he had integrated the blog module with the journal (using 6.2). After grabbing the latest source (including his changes), I decided it was time to give the Blog module a quick makeover and investigate this 6.2 social stuff. The result of this is the Blog 5.0 beta. 

This version, 06.01.01, is a release that has very important new options: anonymous enrollment & integration of the DNN social API/Journal, in addition to a number of bug fixes, enhancements and changes.

BigData – it seems to be a technology area that is in vogue.  It encompasses technologies such as Hadoop, Hive, Pig and Sqoop – yes they all seem to have funny names. 

Every quarter, in the Engineering dept. at DotNetNuke Corp, we have quarterly reviews where we review with our manager the previous quarter’s objectives and establish objectives for the upcoming quarter.  At the beginning of this year one of my objectives was to become more familiar with these BigData technologies and determine which if any we at DNN need to be aware of.
