Basic Skin Creator for DotNetNuke - By R2B2
An application to create skins for DotNetNuke portals with a browser preview.
"Introduction
I am a huge fan of DotNetNuke (DNN) and what you can accomplish with it. It is a wonderful framework that you can use to create websites where your users can quickly and easily take control of their own content. One of the greatest strengths of DotNetNuke is that it separates the content from the presentation via skins. You are given freedom to do pretty much what you want to with it.
This flexibility is also one of the greatest obstacles when first learning to skin DNN. The default skins that come with DNN use a gradient that makes the menus hard for me personally to read. So, I wanted to change it. After many hours and even buying a set of modules that promised it was going to be easy, I still couldn't change the one thing that I really wanted: the menus. So, I did what any good programmer would do. I wrote a program to solve the problem for me. ........."

"When last surveying open source Web CMSes (content management systems) I provided some common-sense advice. For example, it's important to look for not just functionality but also frequent updates, a healthy user community, and the availability of professional support.

With exciting new offerings on the immediate horizon like Silverlight ( aka. WPF/E ), it is sometimes easy to forget some of the recent software releases which are now in full scale production rollout. During the alpha and beta stages of new product releases there is intense marketing focus and active community participation by the early adopters group as the product evolves from one version to the next. However once a product reaches final release form, the spotlight often immediately shifts to the next innovative technology category. This shift often happens before the released product has "crossed the chasm", the stage where the early majority consumer group contemplates mainstream adoption within their enterprise. And it’s often not the strength of the product but the support of the community which dictates whether a product is going to achieve long term industry success.
The official release of ASP.NET AJAX in January 2007, marked the culmination of over a year and a half of intense product development efforts by the ASP.NET team. This out-of-band release was a real milestone for Microsoft as it proved that exceptional results could be achieved by actively engaging the community in between major platform releases. This agile model allowed Microsoft to keep up with market demand and satisfy the needs of consumers, without compromising quality or features. However, the true success of this effort is largely contingent upon how many developers and organizations worldwide choose to embrace ASP.NET AJAX within their production environments now that it has been officially released.
