DotNetNuke is a framework for creating and deploying web projects in ASP.NET 2.0. Its ease of use means that non-programmers can take advantage of new ASP.NET 2.0 features, allowing more people to create and maintain dynamic sites. It integrates with SQL Server 2005 Express and other free Microsoft products, making it a powerful and attractive option when developing web sites.
This book opens with detailed installation instructions for DotNetNuke, Visual Web Developer, and SQL Server 2005. This ensures that every reader, whatever their level or ability, has a working suite of tools that will see them through the rest of the book, and stand them in good stead throughout their ASP.NET 2.0 careers. The rest of the book offers tutorials on creating and publishing an ASP.NET 2.0 website written in Visual Basic 2005, without excluding non-programmers who will be using the book to get up to speed on DotNetNuke.
