We will meet on Thursday August 20th @ Quilogy. They are located at 10350 Ormsby Park Place. Doors will open at 6:30. This month we will feature a speaker meeting. The topic being:

Creating Websites and Portals using DotNetNuke

DotNetNuke is an open source web application framework written in VB.NET for the ASP.NET framework. The application's content management system is extensible and customizable through the use of skins and modules, and it can be used to create, deploy, and manage intranet, extranet, and web sites. No programming is necessary.

To demonstrate the power and simplicity of using the framework, a portal will be built from scratch during the presentation. Helpful tips and gotchas when hosting your site with GoDaddy will also be covered.

A more advanced presentation will be followed up in September with a tutorial on how to build your own DotNetNuke modules.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Best regards,
-chance.
