I wrote one app in DotNet but when it was finally running trying to fix things caused some issues. It took days to work through all the various classes and time was of an essence. It ended up taken too long just to do the simplest things... (I have not mastered C# and that will probably take a while.) The program ran so much slower as much of the functionality runs back at the server end. Most of my current apps use as much JavaScript, JQuery, CSS, AJAX etc as possible. I have a cluster of re-useable C# components, (I have begged borrowed and stolen as I have been phasing out all the ASP stuff) that I would call a connection interface framework and then everything else I build into the SQL BE as a series of SPs... many which are again re-useable. It is my attempt at building a truly distributive system. When my understanding of C# is better I might again go back hacking and mashing apps together using DNN. Client's put as much emphasis (more) on user interface so being able to produce good graphics, excellent layouts and smooth transitions is as important as a BE. Clients will pay 10 times as much for a good layout... so guess where most of my time placed? Right now too much of my time is involved with hardware and BE installs so my studying will have to wait until the fall. ;-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Mark Breen Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2010 4:19 AM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] IE 6 and the rest Hello Jim, Do you use DotNetNuke? if not, what do you build your sites with? thanks Mark On 12 June 2010 23:20, Jim Lawrence <accessd at shaw.ca> wrote: > I have just spent two extra days on designing a web site to work with IE > and > it various flavours.
