As we always do, Ryan Moore of Moore Creative Co lead us off with some announcements… Announcements nvquicksite: nvquicksite is a tool used to make installing DNN easy. In the next release nvquicksite will support installing Evoq packages as well DNN Summit: The DNN Summit call for speakers ends today (Friday, September 16, 2016). Keep in mind that speakers get a free pass to the conference. This year’s conference also features a ½ day “Intro to DNN” training session that has not previously occurred at any DNN conferences. GitHub: Recently DNN has completed the move to GitHub. This follows suit with most open source projects and makes it easy for developers to submit “pull requests” or code enhancements to the platform. Deploying & Managing DNN on Microsoft Azure Platform David Rodriguez then gave a hands on demonstration of how to not only deploy DNN into Azure, but also how to go about managing a DNN instance in Azure. I was remote and during this portion of the meeting my connection dropped twice so I missed a few bits here and there. During David’s session he showed us: Installing DNN on Azure Pricing structure Scaling options DNN & Application Insights DNN v9 and An Updated Admin/Host Area After David’s session DNN Co-Founder Joe Brinkman gave us some really interesting community updates. His updates were centered around DNN 9 and the Admin/Host area of DNN. The main takeaways from Joe’s portion of the meeting were, regarding DNN v9: Minimize reliance web forms Entire admin UI to be SPA based Persona bar will be key part of the Admin update The application will be lighter, faster, & provide a better user experience Platform vs. Evoq experiences were drastically different, now they will fall back in line DNN 9 will mostly be admin overhaul The persona bar is built using React + webpack, Babel, ECMS 6, and NPM are also leveraged Video Clint_Patterson Clint_Patterson's Blog Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus. blog comments powered by Disqus
