Southern Fried DNN Meetup - Oct 20, 2022
Greetings to all attendees of DNN Connect 2022 in Millau, France!
Have you ever been working on something, and it feels like it should just be working, but it is not? You spend hours troubleshooting to find it is something simple in the end and you feel like an idiot? Trust me, you are not alone! We've all been there. In this Quick Win, I'll share with you a very simple technique that can save you time (and self-deprecation)!
Have you ever struggled to install DNN? Fear no more! There is a cool tool that can help you install in less than a minute - yep you heard me right!
This month, we'll be recapping DNN Summit 2022 and then we'll take some time to highlight a few exciting community projects. Trust us, they are worth knowing about and getting involved with!
When it comes to websites, powered by DNN of course, there is so much to consider. And that consideration goes way beyond the technical bits (though these are super important too). Do you perhaps "think like a dev"? Do you rely on "starter designs"? How is your "branding acumen"? Have you brushed up on "color theory"? Do you wear "the marketing hat"? Have you considered "accessibility"? Do things like "user experience", "CTAs", the "customer journey", and "conversations" come into the picture? Oh, and let's not forget about "SEO" and "SEM"! In this session, we'll touch on why ALL of these should at least be in the conversation. We'll share tactics and tips for "doing things right"!
In this session, we'll build a mobile app using DNN as the backend! This session will provide a foundation and open-source building blocks upon which you can use for more robust use cases.
Let's face it, in today's open-source project climate, the feeling of having to be a GitHub expert is real! Not only that, it can be quite intimidating as a non-developer when interacting with dev gurus! So how do I effectively participate, even if I am not a developer? In this session, we will discuss common protocols for open-source collaboration with developers and non-developers alike. We will cover the basics of GitHub (and Git). We'll discuss non-code-based contributions and interaction. We'll sprinkle in some real-world, working exercises to give you actual hands-on experience. Finally, we'll round off the session with a few more complex scenarios you may run into from time to time. You'll walk away from this session with more confidence in becoming an effective open-source project participant!
Catching up of DNN Friends
We all keep hearing about web components. We believe they must be cool or something. So, just show me the freakin' secret sauce already. Stop telling me about them and start showing them - in action - in DNN!
I speak with the Board of Directors for DNN Association about the upcoming DNN Summit 2022. We'll learn what this wonderful DNN Community conference is all about and why you should seriously consider attending.
Bringing overall strategic direction for the DNN Platform project and coordination between all leadership teams. As the DNN Platform and DNN Community evolves, new ideas and technologies will surface. These are great and it is essential to have a "gatekeeper" funnel to ensure all parties are in the loop, providing feedback, and are contributing to any proposed changes in direction or special project efforts. Learn more about the exciting special projects underway and on the horizon.
Today we join Jeremy Farrance of Accuraty Solutions, based in downtown Champaign, Illinois. Jeremy is a fan, integrator, and user of DNN Platform. We discover his history with DNN and get to know him a bit better as a person. We also learn more about his company and its services.
Today we rejoin Aaron Lopez and discuss how to handle OpenGraph meta tags in DNN. OpenGraph tags help to ensure the appropriate title, description, image, etc. are displayed when sharing the page link on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
Today we have the privilege and honor to reconnect with a true O.G., the DNN Hero, our DNN Deskpal, the S010 Coder, the one we could always go to for a nice DNN chat and the latest and greatest in DNN news. He’s a teacher to the core, and my good friend, Aderson Oliveira. Hello, hello!
This is the first in a multi-part live-coding session. We'll be building a file upload module from scratch using the DNN SPA module development pattern and DropzoneJS.
In this session, Daniel Valadas and I will walk you through step-by-step on the complete removal of Telerik from DNN Platform 9.8.0. Many of you have been waiting for this ability and it is now possible in DNN Platform 9.8.0.
