5.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable book for demystifying DNN Modules,
This review is from: Building Websites with VB.NET and DotNetNuke 3.0 (Paperback)
This book was invaluable for helping me write my first DNN module. With the book, I was able to get my first module up in a day or so. Without it, I would have probably torn out what is left of my hair.
I have both this book and the one from the core team. The one from the core team realy only covers setting up the portal. This is the book to get to help you get started on module development.

Written with the developer in mind, was pleasantly surprised,

This review is from: Building Websites with VB.NET and DotNetNuke 3.0 (Paperback)
If you are interested in learning about DotNetNuke, or if you already have an understanding of the portal and wish to learn how to extend its functionality for DNN version 3, I can easily recommend this book. This is one of those few technical books that I've read front to back. It begins with an overview of DotNetNuke and the enhancements in version 3, and then quickly jumps into a systematic approach of how you can build your own modules. A degree of ASP.NET is assumed, but in my humble opinion anyone who is excited in what DNN has to offer and is eager to learn, can use this book as a foundation for building their first .NET private assembly - and one that works within the DNN framework, no less. The wrap up with "Must have DNN Modules" was terrific. He critiques some modules that other developers have created, and gives resources on where to find both free modules and ones you can purchase. He makes what seems otherwise impossible, practical and reasonable to accomplish. In fact, after reading the chapter on skinning even I may give it a shot... I'm not quite sure how to explain how this was an easy read. I thought the other was efficient in his explanations, unique in his analysis, and extremely clear in his presentation.
Both developers as well as those who are interested in learning more about DotNetNuke 3, and the community involved in this effort, will most likely be pleased and benefit from this book.

Well Written. Very good for the novice,

This review is from: Building Websites with VB.NET and DotNetNuke 3.0 (Paperback)
This is really good for the novice. A lot of things that you could only learn from reading thousands of messages in the user groups is available in one place. The book really takes time to explain things and doesn't assume you know something. It was nice to learn about Dotnetnuke where everything was explained slowly and in detail. It also contains a surprising number of pictures and this really helps a lot. It's a must read for anyone considering using Dotnetnuke.
