WPF Tutorial

Ferlin — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 03:41:34 +0000

One of the things that were demoed to us during the 2-day “training” course was developing a WPF application for use with Silverlight. I was once again given the opportunity to use my chainsaw to sculpt porcelain. Looked around for tutorials again to supplement what was being taught and I stumble on this nifty site.

Development Environment for Skinning DotNetNuke

Ferlin — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 00:30:47 +0000

Was recently assigned to a project where my colleages where developing an application using DotNetNuke. I was tasked (being the resident designer), to create skins using CSS.

Having majored in Fine Arts/Visual Communication, programming and scripting aren’t really my specialties, but recently I’ve been doing a lot more projects involving Actionscript, PHP/MySQL, ASP, and Flex so I felt the need of retooling myself to at least understand what my team mates are talking about. A recent addition was DotNetNuke, a CMS running on ASP.NET.

So feeling up to the challenge, I went about researching, with Google as my friend and companion. I’m going to be posting links on what I find here, just in case someone stumbles in.

Here’s a good place to start if you want to start building DNN skins of your own.
