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.
