DNN Hangout - August 2015 - Understanding the DNN Platform Source Code

Every now and again, we’ll throw in a special episode of DNN Hangout, where we talk about something that we believe will be extra beneficial to the community.  Sometimes this will have one or more special guests attached to it, sometimes it won’t.  In this special episode, Joe Brinkman and I walk through the source code of DNN platform.  It’s grown so much over the years that we realize just how intimidating it can be to someone.  After watching this hangout, that intimidation should be at a minimum.

Want to Be on the Show?

We are always looking for new people to be featured on the show.  You don’t have to be an “expert” in anything.  Just be prepared to chat with us about anything interesting about DNN, no matter how big or small. 

Please let me know in the comments or via email if you’d like to be on DNN Hangout.

Next Episode

In our next hangout, we’ll be speaking with a return guest.  I heard about and unfortunately had to miss his session at last year���s DNNCon.  He showed everyone his tips and tricks to putting together a socially engaging DNN site, and he used DNN-Connect as an example.  Phillip Becker will be joining us and filling us in on the things he learned.
