Hi Susan, just for clarify, DotNetNuke is programmed on .Net but in practice, many people never write a line of code. It is a framework, or a tool, or an environment for developing websites, webapps, or simply web based databases. What is really nice is that there are hundreds of 3rd party modules that do all sorts of clever tricks, most are free or almost free. What is does require is a good technical brain and a basic knowledge of databases (SQL Server is the db). Armed with those skills, there is plenty of pleasant, enjoyable work available. There are hundreds of videos and lots of blogs to read. Finally, there tends to be three categories of people that work with DNN. 1) Integrators - very little programming, but works with clients to construct web sites / web apps 2) Developers - they develop customised apps for specific requirements 3) Skinners - they do the graphic bit, and are typcially HTML / CSS / JavaScript / JQuery people. I hope that is helpful, let me know if you ever need anything for DNN Mark On 28 August 2012 13:48, Susan Harkins <ssharkins at gmail.com> wrote: > If you have decided to ditch Office and are not comfortable trying to >> become an expert on SQL Server, you could review Dotnetnuke.
