17. DotNetNuke – Model Basics DotNetNuke “engine” Modules Skins Containers Content Providers Backend Database (exchangeable) User / Role Management (exchangeable)

18. Skinning For Site Layout For Module Layout Mostly HTML (for Web Designers) A bit of tagging or.net programming Very easy if you know HTML Recommended reading: watch skinning videos on Snowcovered

19. The Provider Model Recommended by Microsoft A core strategy in the.net 2.0 Framework The idea: Replace Core Components of a software with the best solution Some Providers –WYSIWYG Provider –Login Provider –Data Provider

20. Provider: User Login Show web.config with standard user login Show web.config with AD login

21. What’s a module? ASCX Controls that –Inherits the base class Registered as a module in the DB (show) Optional: Binaries Optional: Assets (Images, etc.) Optional: Data tables Optional: Data providers …

Windows is a must in SMB (KMU) DNN is the leading system on Windows Free Widely used Many modules (www.snowcovered.com)www.snowcovered.com Not official standard, but close Very clean architecture DNN does more and more I personally believe a descendant of DotNetNuke will become the standard foundation of future web applications
