Sometimes it’s easy to forget some of the simple things when you've been working with something over a
long period of time. When this happens, it's easy to overlook how technical, difficult, hidden, or
simply not obvious things. You end up in something of an auto-pilot mode. This article helps to outline
some of the quick-and-easy things that we often do after first installing DNN.

If you’re in the developer community, and especially if you’re using or near any Azure conversations,
you’ll continuously hear someone suggest Let’s Encrypt when it comes to securing your domain
name. You know, that thing you do to allow your website to use the HTTPS protocol to get that
lock in front of it in the web browser. I’ve tended to use NameCheap.com these days. They’re
cheap like their name suggests, and they’re super easier to use. However, things just got even

Over the years, I’ve followed, learned, and tried many different ways to build extensions in DNN. Of course, the primary extension I’ve built has always been a module. If you’re new to DNN, a module is simply an app that you can install for visitors to interact with on your website. After working on DNN solutions since 2003, I’ve settled on a very specific development pattern that we implemented here at Upendo Ventures. Using our development pattern was time-consuming to get started with a new project, but it had too many benefits to avoid. We’ve found and publicly released this development pattern to all of you.

If you've been around DNN for a while, you may vaguely remember a monthly show that existed
where myself and Joe Brinkman spoke about the various interesting news items of the month,
and we also interviewed various folks in the DNN community. Well, it's back! That's right.
This is the first of many DNN Hangout shows for you to enjoy.
