DotNetNuke Performance Best Practices

Out of the box DotNetNuke provides a plethora of configuration options and settings. It can take a lot of time to fully understand the in's and out's of using these configuration settings to get your site running in the best manner possible. It is also very possible that an incorrect setting could cause major performance issues or even bring a site down. This session is designed to help clear up some of the muddy waters around DotNetNuke Performance and configuration. The session will focus on how you can configure DNN for the best performance, settings to watch out for, and specific changes for differing environments.

In addition special resources will be discussed and referenced for performance guidance as well as various free modules to help maintain a site in an automatic fashion.

DotNetNuke Development Best Practices - Being a Good Citizen

There are many available resources that show how to develop extensions for DotNetNuke and many of these resources will show conflicting development styles and some could put you at risk of having code breaking in future releases. This session talks about the concept of being a "good citizen" in the DotNetNuke ecosystem. Targeted at individuals that are already familiar with DotNetNuke module development a focus will be placed on how to develop modules to accomplish your goals, but to do so in a manner that minimizes upgrade risks and helps ensure that developed solutions will work across a wide variety of DotNetNuke installations. The session will finish with a discussion around testing methodologies to assist in validating functionality and upgradability.
