It’s Been A Long Run

[Cross posted from .NET Musings] I worked my first paying job involving computers in 1984. After a degree in computer science from the school of engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, I started quite the run as a computer consultant. My first jobs involved building custom computers and networks and programming the computers! I’ve had a fabulous career as a consultant, and worked with a lot of fantastic people. But I realized a while ago that I wanted to be something else when I grow up. I just had no idea what that was. In 1995, I started as a volunteer for...

Our modules and skinobject PAs were not compatible with the new release because of a change in DotNetNuke's handling of files and subfolders in the PA archive. With the new RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX service pack release (2008.3.1314), we updated our DNN resources to be compatible with the 5.0.0 installer. The new build of the RadControls modules and skinobjects for DotNetNuke can be used in version 5 and 4 as well. If you find an issue with the...

dotNetRegister: Requirements

Before we can begin any serious coding of the recently introduced "dotNetRegister" reference app, we need to define some some requirements. As with any good agile development effort, I want to create a backlog of features that need to be implemented and then prioritize development from there. I even intend to work on this application in sprints, though clearly, as a part time project, I don't expect to have a stellar burn-down rate. ASIDE: If any of these agile terms- like backlog, sprint, or burn-down rate- are unfamiliar to you, I highly encourage you to spend a little time becoming more...
