This is my final reminder regarding OpenForce '07 in Las Vegas.  I am putting the finishing touches on my presentation now and am really looking forward to the conference.  I know there will be a lot of the regulars from the community as well as many new comers and I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with as many of you as possible while I am there. 

If you are going please feel free to get in touch with me, you can send me an e-mai and we can try to arrange a time to meet!

Look for blog updates potentially though the week of OpenForce but for sure by the following weekend!

Recently on DotNetNuke.com I have noticed a number of requests for a "DNN Definitions" document, or something of similar nature.  For those of us that have been using DotNetNuke for a while we become used to the terms that are used in everyday dealings with DNN and sometimes forget about the learning curve that comes with the first starts with DNN.  I have decided to try and build a listing of some of these terms, both from the infrastructure side of things as well as general admin functionality.  If you have additions to this list please post them in the comments or send me an e-mail!  I will try to update this more items come to mind.

I know it has been a while since I have posted new information for my blog and I wanted to apologize for not getting this new content out there.  I have been busy preparing for OpenForce and getting things ready for the home that I am purchasing, so these last 4 weeks or so have been incredibly crazy!

Shortly after OpenForce (If not sooner) I plan to get back on top of the blog and will try to get new/updated content back out here.  Below is a listing of the articles and videos that I have planned for the near future.  If you have any requests please feel free to e-mail me or post a comment below!

Articles

• Updated Backup DNN Article (Covering hosted solution issues)
• Updated DNN Restore Article (Covering restores to different locations in more detail)
• WAP Development with C#, how and where to get started
• Compare and Contrast between the WSP and WAP development models

Videos

• Building modules with WAP (VB.NET) - Similar to my presentation at OpenForce
• Building modules with WAP (C#.NET)

In addition to releasing new articles and videos I will also be working to update my existing DNN modules and software products and will be looking to release two new FREE modules, below is a listing of all planned updates.

Modules/Software

• DNN Course Gradebook - Updates to include printable "class" grades, for all students and an ability to put "comments" with graded assignments.
• Info Class Generator - Updates to this to rename the application and include a "Stored Procedure Creator" to allow code creation for Insert, Update, and Select SQL statements
• NEW User Import Module - A dynamic user import module for DNN that supports CSV and XML user import
• NEW Quiz Module - The long awaited quiz module, targeting a first release shortly after January 1

As mentioned above if you have any special requests please let me know, otherwise please stay tuned for future updates!

It seems like yesterday that I was submitting my proposals for OpenForce session topics, now we are less than 4 weeks away from the start of the conference.  I am not sure about all of you but I am getting excited, it will be great to be able to put faces to names of the individuals in the DotNetNuke community.  Philip Beadle and I are working on the final touches for our presentation on Module Development.

So who all is going to OpenForce?  I'd enjoy the opportunity to meet any an all regular readers of this site and other members of the DNN Community!
