DNN Community or Professional Ed / Advanced Administration
Speakers: Ernst Peter Tamminga & Oliver Hine

Since about a year, there are various versions of DNN, most notably a Community Edition (Open Source) as well as a licensed paid Professional Edition (in various types).
What is the (technical) difference between the free and the paid version? Why should people choose for paying money if it can come for free as well? Or is there a real advantage for the Professional Edition?
Oliver Hine will demonstrate alternatives for advanced administration of free DotNetNuke Community Edition, including his famous Advanced Ribbon Control Panel.

Je crée mon premier module DotNetNuke
Speaker: Jean-Sylvain Boige

Il existe de nombreux modules tiers sur la marché, et sans doute autant de façon de s‟y prendre pour développer une application sous DotNetNuke.
Cette introduction se propose de démystifier le développement de modules en identifiant les contraintes minimales, les extensions disponibles, et les décisions à prendre.
1. Construction étape par étape
2. Les arbitrages

Managing resx Files and Content Localization
Speaker: Ernst Peter Tamminga & Gilles le Pigocher

The language editor in DNN is not as usable as we need, directly editing the .resx files is also not always what we are looking for. The need for a better solution is obvious. A couple of dutch DNN users created together a module called LocalizationEditor that is available for everyone on CodePlex, which allows you to open up editing of language files (resx files) to other users. The goal is to help you coordinate/manage/delegate translation of DNN stuff.
Gilles is presenting a general database structure and module programming technique to create any multilingual module. This technique is built upon the existing core multilingual structure as of version 5.4. It is easy to set up, easy to upgrade from single-language, works for simple and advanced modules, even if the module is installed distributed over multiple pages, like the Store module.

Content Localization features in DNN 5.5
Speaker: Shaun Walker

The ability to maintain a multi-lingual website is a critical business requirement for users around the world. Although the DotNetNuke Web Content Management Platform has supported Software Localization since version 3.0, Content Localization has been one of the most highly requested features for many years. In this session, Shaun Walker will showcase the exciting new Content Localization capabilities being added in the next release of DotNetNuke. He will discuss the various use cases and constraints which were considered in the design process for the feature, how a multitude of third party community solutions contributed to the requirements gathering process, and how the final core solution will be flexible enough to cater to a variety of scenarios and create new opportunities for module developers and systems integrators.

DNN explained: from the browser to the server and back
Speaker: Vicenç Masanas

DNN is a big framework and has a lot of capabilities. When you request a page, a lot happens in the inside (permission checking, skin, modules, friendly urls, ...). This is a lot of work done in the insides of the framework that it most cases you'll not need. But having a deep understanding of how it works can help you in some debugging tasks and also in better understand why some things work the way they work.
In this session, Vicenç will look at the inner details of DNN and try to figure what is going on in the background when a simple thing like showing a DNN page happens. We'll take a look at selected pieces of the Core (page rendering, upgrades, ...) to understand how they work.

Expression web is a powerful application suite from Microsoft for creating graphics and UI for the web, Winforms applications and Silverlight solutions. Competing with market leaders like Dreamweaver, Expression web can be used to create web sites easily. SuperPreview allows you to see and measure differences between browsers from within the application.
This session will make you familiar with the features supporting DNN skinning.

Building a stable, module with automated Testing
Speaker: Kelly Ford

Especially web forms applications have proven to be tough to test due to the necessity of running the complete application (i.e. both your module and DNN) in a browser. Luckily there are now solutions that allow you to do this. The Selenium testing framework can solve this problem since it runs within the browser - exercising your module in a live environment just as your user would. This also allows you to do cross-browser testing across multiple operating systems. However, because the UI in DNN is dynamically built and can vary with each new release, creating maintainable tests is still challenging.
In this presentation, Kelly provides an introduction to using Selenium for testing your module and will present strategies he created during his years of commercial module development for building maintainable Selenium tests in the DNN environment.

15h20 à 16h10


Upgrading the Search and URL rewriting providers on DNN
Speaker: Jean-Sylvain Boige

Alternatives for the DotNetNuke searching provider usually leverage a powerful indexing engine such as Google appliance or Lucene.Net by discarding the core provider and directly crawling the portal‟s html content. We‟ll demonstrate the limits of this approach and explain the benefits of sticking to the inner content provider.
DNN makes extensive use of URL-driven behavior, implying complex URLs with many query string parameters. It has long supported the central management of inner URLs to ease dealing with those addresses, as well as enabling through an extensible provider their translation into a human and SEO friendly counterparts. Microsoft has been promoting the Url Rewrite IIS module as an alternate solution to tackle that issue directly into the web server.

Module development with jQuery UI & Telerik Grid Controls
Speaker: Christoph Herold & Mark Breen

Using jQuery as a basis, developers have created a JavaScript library for user interface components, to provide a rich user experience. These so called widgets are usually built, so as not to interfere with basic html, and to provide backwards compatibility with user agents, that do not execute JS. In this session, we will demonstrate the features currently available in the jQUI-DNN integration library, by building a simple module and using various WebControls to generate the jQuery UI widgets.
We will also demonstrate how to extremely quickly use Telerik Grid Controls to build and deploy a module in minutes. We will then update that module and include additional dropdown combos. Finally, we will show how to move from one screen "Customers" to a second screen "Orders" using the encrypted ID.
