Understanding the Various Ways to Implement Custom Functionality in DNN

This beginner session will look at the process of determining how to implement advanced functionality in DNN. It will start with explaining the pros and cons of each way of extending DNN functionality (DNN projects, 3rd party modules, utilizing utility module builders like Open Web Studio and XMod Pro, and custom .NET module development from scratch), and end with a demo of using one of the utility module builders (Open Web Studio) to build a utility module which will allow users to set their own home page (or have it be selected based on what roles they are in).

Its goal is to allow audience members to see the myrid of ways DNN can be extended, and to show them that there are tools out there within the DNN community that can help them add needed functionality, regardless of their level of .NET developer expertise.
