Thoughts from the Wet Coast
The musings of an ASP.NET Developer from Canada's We(s)t Coast

A few days ago I blogged that I would be creating a number of different “ToDo” modules to showcase “Best Practices” for building DNN modules.  This project is hosted on Github and is inspired by the ToDo MVC project which shows how different JavaScript MV* frameworks and libraries can be used to build a common “ToDo” application.  My first project is a “Classic WebForms” approach to building a DNN ToDo module.

I have called it “Classic Webforms” as it primarily uses features of DNN that were available prior to version 5, when we began to add additional ways to develop modules.  However,  as with most of my example modules this module is developed using a number of modern “Best Practices” – these Best Practices are highlighted in italic.

When I announced that I was no longer working at DNN Corp, I did make it clear that it was still my intention to remain active in the DNN Community.  And so, for the last couple of weeks I have been trying to decide what I should do. 

In my role as Senior Architect and Chief Architect at DNN Corp I often found myself adding or updating the framework for developers to write module extensions for DNN.  And, of course, that meant that I needed to create a module in order to test out those features.  Often I did this by creating a To-do or Task List module.
