DotNetNuke is a highly robust web-application framework that is ideally suited for a wide variety of purposes, from simple websites to enterprise applications.  Associated with the framework is a team of security professionals who are dedicated to ensuring that third-party developers are able to create secure modules (and that the DotNetNuke framework itself is maximally secured against external threat).  In this way, DotNetNuke developers are able to quickly leverage security services provided by the core framework, allowing for more rapid development and increased overall quality. In this article we review some of the security-related services that are offered by the core DotNetNuke framework and discuss their ability to defend against real-world threats.   lees meer...

Microsoft’s LINQ to SQL is a great choice for module development in the DotNetNuke platform.

For many DotNetNuke modules – which often focus on performing one highly-focused task – this is a natural fit. In this article we explore the many advantages of using LINQ to SQL as a data tier within a DotNetNuke module and demonstrate a sample module using this technology.   lees meer...
