A productive trip to DNN World in Orlando left us ready for a big 2012... 

We’re on the plane flying back to St. Louis from DNN World 2011.  I gave a presentation titled DNN 6 UI/UX Patterns, discussing the form patterns introduced in the administrative modules in DNN 6 (the new look and feel that you immediately noticed after logging into your new DNN 6 site).  Many folks asked about seeing the examples that I presented, and they are available as a repository on github, at https://github.com/bdukes/DNN-World-Demos.  This includes a series of small, one-control modules that demonstrate the various parts and pieces introduced in DNN 6.  I’ve also placed the slide deck on SlideShare, (though the vast majority of the content was just demonstration, don’t be expecting a wealth of information there).  Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, and I’ll do my best to give clarifications.

We’ve just released an update to our popular survey and form building module, Engage: Survey...

Camp Quality serves children with cancer and their families by providing year-round programs, experiences, and companionship, at no cost. Camp Quality promotes hope and inspiration while helping children foster life skills and develop their full potential.

We felt like kids heading to camp each day working with Camp Quality - excited, inspired, giddy. Providing Camp Quality with a web site that reflects the experience they provided to campers was a true joy.

Engage is proud to announce we have earned the Gold Certified status within the DotNetNuke Partner program. We have been an active supporter of the DNN project for many years with the DotNetNuke Benefactor and Sponsor programs. Engage has also been a DotNetNuke Partner since the program was announced.

A couple of years back, we released a free DotNetNuke skin object that we created which allowed users of your website to select from CSS styling options.  We've recently updated the skin object, and released it with full source on our website.

We recently published an update to our jobs listing module, Engage: Employment.  With version 1.9, we’ve focused on the administration of the module, and worked to help you analyze your jobs’ applicants more quickly and easily.

Earlier last week we released Engage: Nebula, a DotNetNuke 5 skin package. The skin is developed using CSS and designed around deep, dark color palettes, balanced space. The design is inspired by Star Wars: the Clone Wars, working off of the arts deep colors and stylized high contrast. The skin comes with 6 different color options, four layouts, and 6 containers. Each layout is carefully spaced to give the site even weight and balance, and when combined with the multiple containers, give your content a clear and custom way to shine. The skin package includes the original Photoshop file for easy customization, 6 unique colors, 4 layouts, and 6 containers. The force is strong with this one!
