Topic: Simplified Module Architectures - Rediscovering the Power of ASP.NET
Description: Many of the best DotNetNuke modules allow significant changes to be made to the appearance and functionality of the module through configuration changes, tokenized templates, and other assorted techniques. While this provides nice options for non-technical users, it introduces a variety of limitations that can be very difficult to overcome and can lead to very complex code that is difficult to modify. The more of these modules I experience, the more it seems that too many people keep trying to re-invent what ASP.NET already offers, and their solutions aren’t nearly as elegant or powerful. This session will focus on module architectures that expose the power of what ASP.NET already does so well and allows powerful and flexible modules to be created quickly with minimal coding.
