Create a DotNetNuke module using Delphi.NET |
Speaker: Erik van Ballegoij |
|
|
So, you are using Delphi to create great windows applications, and you’ve looked at DotNetNuke and you were wondering how easy it would be to create a DNN module with Delphi.NET. This session will cover the following: brief overview of DotNetNuke and DNN modules, how to set up an ASP.NET project in Delphi, how to create the proper module controls and a few samples of the DNN framework: security, permissions and controls. Finally we will look at how to create an installable module package. Leverage your knowledge of the Delphi language and start building ASP.NET web sites!

Building Secure DotNetNuke installations |
Speaker: Cathal Connolly |
|
|
Out of the box DotNetNuke has good default security, however there are a number of ways we can tighten up security. This session will start off by showing some good asp.net/IIS practices, and then take a look at building a hardened DotNetNuke install that we can use as a template for later site deployments. We'll look at the pro's and con's of optional security features such as CAPTCHA, SSL and host level request filtering before finishing off by using the new Security provider to create an alternative implementation of the filters used for sql injection, cross-site scripting attacks and html-encoding.

Using Web 2.0 APIs in DotNetNuke modules |
Speaker: Cathal Connolly |
|
|
See how to build DotNetNuke modules that make use of Web 2.0 Web services. We'll learn how to build them to ensure that they're resilient to any Security or availability issues, examine how to use AJAX to make the user experience more seamless, and determine what dependencies we need to ensure modules install correctly for all your users. Finally we'll build some modules that demonstrate integrating with the ever growing number of Windows Live Services and also make use of Google's GData protocol which allows us to hook into many of their services including Blogger, Google Calendar, Documents & Picassa.

Create a DotNetNuke skin from a website design |
Speaker: Cathal Connolly |
|
|
Come along and see how to use tools to analyze open source templates, and rebuild them as DotNetNuke skins. We’ll see how to use free programs to edit any supplied graphics, including layered Photoshop documents, to suit our sites and ensure that our skins meet accessibility legislation and are XHTML compliant. In addition we’ll use some of the new DNN 5.0 features such as the updated DNN Menu V2.0 to provide a rich, compliant menu, and new style sheets to easily make rounded corners.

DotNetNuke Module Applications |
Speaker: Stefan Cullmann |
|
|
Some DotNetNuke modules win their power through individual configuration. Different instances of the same module can, from a "non programmers" point of view, provide different functionality and appearance. Generic modules are transformed into specialised module applications. Idea is to extract this setup of a module into a “template package” together with its description. A set of these packages is managed in a repository. Power users would be able to create new content using such a Module Application without even knowing the concrete module behind. As prepared module packages are files, they can be also exchanged between different installations. The presentation shows an example implementation using the new packaging architecture in DotNetNuke Cambrian. The functionality will be introduced into the next major release of the User Defined Table and might act as reference for other modules or a core based solution. The session will cover both usage and implementation.

Introduction into Forms & Lists (UDT 5.0) |
Speaker: Stefan Cullmann |
|
|
Forms & Lists (UDT5.0) is the long awaited next major module release of the User Defined Table team. The core module evolved over time from basic list features into a multifunction tool useful for everyone. We decided to rename the module to “Forms & Lists”, which fits better to the character of the module than its old name. The old “User Defined Table” is still the engine behind. “Forms & List” will be the primary choice for creating basic applications inside DotNetNuke. No programming skills are required. This presentation provides a walkthrough through the possibilities and features: - High level data types - Multiple rendering options - XSLT for everyone - Module Templates (Module Applications) - Forms mode - More tips and tricks The module requires the new DotNetNuke Cambrian framework and integrates some of the new features of the platform.

How to provide and identify Quality of DotNetNuke extensions? |
Speaker: Sebastian Leupold |
|
|
DotNetNuke is known to be one of the most secure application platforms currently available, but there are thousands of modules, skins and providers available, which have extremely varying levels of quality. This session will provide information, how DNN core extensions are tested and validated, before they get released and packaged with DotNetNuke and give information about Certification options. We will also discuss other methods to identify quality and how to protect against security risks.

Test Driven DotNetNuke Module Development |
Speaker: Charles Nurse |
|
|
The Test Driven Development methodology requires developers to write Unit Tests before they write any of the application code. The concept is that each component of the application can be separately tested, independent from the other components. Prior to the release of DotNetNuke v5.0 this was very difficult, if not impossible to achieve. In this talk we will review the MVP (Model View Presenter) methodology, and the new features of DotNetNuke v5.0 that allow us to build fully testable modules.

DotNetNuke framework: a hidden jewel? |
Speaker: Ernst Peter Tamminga |
|
|
Do you develop web applications and websites with ASP.NET and MS SQL? And you are not using DotNetNuke (DNN)? Then you are wasting at least 40% of your valuable time and time and money of your client by re-inventing the web wheel. This session explains the advantages and disadvantages of DNN for a Developer, especially when working with the DNN framework that is hidden within DNN. With clear illustrations of functionally that is ready to use, such as token replacement, modular upgrade facilities, error logging importing and exporting definitions and specifications, migrating from development to test to production, search options, automatic and specialized RSS feeds, AJAX support, inter module communication, skinning, easy localization, scheduling, UI controls and more.
