19 September I’ve Installed DNN. What’s Next? 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.

10 June DNN-Connect 2019 Recap: The Next Phase of Our Journey I’m not yet out of Europe. I’m sitting in my hotel room in Paris, enjoying the sounds of the city, just blocks away from the Eiffel Tower. I spent about an hour last night after midnight, exploring the city. I can’t help but reflect on what DNN has done for my life. It’s quite literally changed it, for the better, time and time again. As a minor and superficial example, over 15 years ago when I started with it, I never thought it would lead me to Switzerland or France, much less riding a scooter around the Eiffel Tower after midnight. I’ve come a long way over the years, and so has our community. We’ve all grown, and this conference marked an important new milestone in our mutual journey.

7 March Save Hundreds of Hours Building DNN Modules and Other Types of Extensions 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. Now you can use our development pattern too, but without any of the effort that we used to put into it By Will Strohl Technology, Website Development, DNN, DNN Summit, DNNCMS, Open Source Loading Disqus...
