As a developer, and specifically as a DotNetNuke developer, there are a number of directories that I have to navigate to regularly. In particular with DotNetNuke, I'm going to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke\Website\DesktopModules quite a bit. So, instead of having to try to type that in all the time, or navigate through the folder structure, I've defined an environment variable "dm" that is defined as that path to my Desktop Modules folder. I can just type %dm% into an explorer prompt and be there without any hassle. I've also setup a %wwwroot% shortcut, though it gets used much less often. It's a lot like keeping a shortcut around in your dock/quick launch toolbar, but you can also use it in dialogs. Hopefully this can help you trim off a few more seconds/minutes of monotony throughout your day.

Recently one of my colleagues (Dukes) and I were developing a module and he is one of those guys who has memorized every keyboard shortcut for Visual Studio and I noticed him "Attaching to a Process" (CTRL + ALT + P). Me being a traditional style developer I have always just reloaded the application using the trusty F5. We were involved in some client specific business logic and I just made a mental note at the time.
Recently, I've started using the Attach to Process (then select aspnet_wp.exe and Attach) as the way to test logic and I have to say that it is much faster than F5 even with cached authentication information and not logging in each time.
If you are like me and you are a habitual F5er, give attach to process a try, old habits are hard to break but this one will save you a significant amount of time over the course of a day, week or your career!

We have released a major update for Engage: Employment, our DNN job listing module. In version 1.2, we have added a number of new features and fixed all known bugs from version 1.1.
The most exciting new feature for Employment is the addition of Job Groups, which will allow much more customization and flexibility when using the module. You can now assign jobs into job groups, and then set up various modules to display and edit specific job groups. Before now, there was no way to segregate your jobs, every module always showed every job. Now, you can separate jobs between locations or categories, or any way that you want. In addition, you can also assign different security permissions to each module to better control who gets to create and update various job listings on your site.
Once you upgrade, you can add the Engage: Employment Job Group Admin module onto a page, and create the groups that you need...
