I’m now an MCTS Web Developer!

I passed the 70-562 today and I am now an MCTS Web Developer. The exam wasn’t as bad as the 70-536. To study for the exam I used the following books:

MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-562)
Programming Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5
ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX Unleashed

Building my first DotNetNuke Module

I recently updated the EWGA Central Indiana web site. I originally built it using DotNetNuke(DNN). DNN was an excellent choice for a CMS system. It has been reliable and it since it is an open source project, it made the web site very affordable for the EWGA.

The EWGA needed a calendar to list their events, golf outings and trainings. I tried to find an existing module to use and was unable to find one that met their needs. I decided that I would create the module myself. At first I was a little bit timid to develop the module, but after doing research on online and playing around in Visual Studio, I found out that it is very easy to develop modules for DotNetNuke.

The following web sites were very helpful to me while I was building the calendar module:

DotNetNuke 4 - Module Development
The official DotNetNuke Site
