DNN Summit Saber 2019

Specify Alternate Text
This year I continued with the etching work that was done on last years sabers. That previous etching was left "blind etched" so that it was the silver aluminum color and could be seen in detail at close inspection and while rotating the hilt. This year, to help it stand out more visibly, I worked with a longer acid/electric etching time that cut a deeper etch, leaving room for the space to take black enamel paint for a finished edge that is smooth to the touch and highly visible for the DNN logo!

November SoFried - Introduction to Blazor & DNN Connector API

In this session we got an introduction to Blazor, one of Microsoft's latest technologies, from our very own Clint Patterson. We then got a look into the DNN Connector API from DNN MVP Mike Smeltzer. It was a great meeting with lots of insightful content. Clint's presentation was intriguing as Blazor allows C# to run in the browser which makes back-end devs all over the world happy and Mike's presentation helped connect the dots for anyone looking to build out a connector.

August So-Fried Meeting: Web Components and DNN

Specify Alternate Text
Are you tired of JavaScript Framework Churn? Perhaps some of my latest development efforts will help brighten your day and improve your outlook for future DNN development possibilities. While this project is in the early stages, I am so excited about it and wanted to go ahead and share what I am working on for the DNN community. I believe this contribution will have similar, if not greater, impact to future DNN development as some of my previous open source contributions.
