Summary

Cathal will be giving an introduction to the new release of DotNetNuke 3.0, showing how you can go from scratch to a versatile & powerful content management system, beginning with the installation and configuration of the portal, and then showing how to use the administration functions in order to set up users and security groups & assign access permissions to portal objects. He'll then demonstrate how to easily alter and extend DotNetNuke through the use of skins, containers, modules and alternative providers. Finally, he'll showcase some of the new 3.0 features such as static localization, content import/export & the client API.
