After working with ASP.Net Webforms for the past decade, the time has come to move on. I have enjoyed using Webforms and I was pretty good at bending ASP.Net to my will. Having recently tried some newer web frameworks I find that I am more productive than ever before. Over the past couple of years I have dabbled with ASP.Net MVC, jQuery and even WebFormsMVP but none of them truly held my interest for long. I never felt like they really offered solutions to problems that I was worried about. Bec...

How these modules have been packaged has changed over the years, but customers have become accustomed to seeing them. In DotNetNuke 6.0 we provided a great new capability that in...

Having been part of the main engineering and product teams from the early days of the Open Source project I have had a number of roles on the team.
