Using DotNetNuke 2.1.x for Content Management Speaker: Joe Brinkman (TAG Software, Inc. & DataSource, Inc.) DotNetNuke is an open-source content management portal framework written in ASP.NET. With over 80,000 registered users it is by far one of the most popular open-source projects for the Microsoft platform. Upon installation it provides point-and-click functionality to dynamically create custom portal content to meet almost any need. Among some of its many features include skinning, plug-and-play module installation, role-based security, multiple portals served from a single site, and WYSIWYG content editing. This session will start out by giving an overview of DotNetNuke, its history and its community ideals. Then we will dive into the basics of installing your own DNN Portal and administrating your membership and content. Finally we will dive into more technical topics including the creation and installation of skins as well as the development and deployment of private assembly custom modules.

Developing .NET Applications for Manageability (tenative) Speaker: Alex Zakonov (AVICode) In practice, manageability is what allows the operations staff to deploy and configure your application, monitor its health and performance, predict when problems arise and have the information and tools on hand to effectively analyze, correct and report failures. Learn how to design and develop your applications so they are more manageable in enterprise environments, where integration, reliability, security, and availability all impact whether your application will properly serve your users current and future requirements. Find how the best practices for keeping your applications successfully running and adapting to changing needs, well beyond initial deployment. Avoid Broken Links with Speerio's UrlRedirector Speaker: Gary Pupurs (Planet 3K) Renaming files on a website or shifting backends to a new CMS often results in different URLs across your site. This causes external links to break, frustrating your users and reducing your website traffic. We'll take a quick look at a free tool that can be quickly installed on any .NET website and used to handle these needs, whether you need to migrate systems, had to change a filename, or just need shorter links to your CMS. Sponsor Presentation Sponsor: Charles Carroll (AspTraining.com) Charles will present some of the new tools he has been using, and share some tips on how to get the most out of them for power users. Food & Networking Enjoy FREE Armand's Deep Dish pizza, snacks, and great drinks as you network with fellow developer & entrepreneurs.
