So it’s been way too long, 6 months to be pretty exact, since we had a new release for Engage: Publish. Well last Thursday it finally came! We released Publish 5.4 on our website, though without announcement because of everything else we have had going on. Well here’s the announcement!

Day of DotNetNuke, a weekend in review

chammond@engagesoftware.net — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:05:00 GMT

So Dang and I headed off to Tampa Florida on Thursday to get ready for the Day of DNN event, as well as teach a few of our DotNetNuke Workshops. We flew down Thursday morning, picked up our rental car (after an upgrade to a full size that worked out well, more on that later). Once we made our way over to the hotel we checked in and began working on our presentations for Saturday, there’s nothing like leaving it to the last minute right? When we checked in we picked up two packages, one with the materials for our workshops on Friday/Sunday, and one from Wrox with three freshly printed copies of my new book, the first copies I’d actually seen in print so I was pretty excited about that.

We finally moved in! We got a sign!

chammond@engagesoftware.net — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 05:14:00 GMT

So we've been in the building for well over five years now, I've been with Engage 5yrs coming up in May. While we did move downstairs, from upstairs (obviously), in that time, we have never had a sign on the building with our name. Well today that changed, check out the new Engage signage out front, I must say, I think it looks great! But now, instead of people calling the landlord to see if the office space is available, they may call and ask "What's engage?"

Check out the picture of our new sign in the full blog post.

DotNetNuke Custom Modules? Yeah we do that

chammond@engagesoftware.net — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:16:28 GMT

One thing we learned in Las Vegas at OpenForce 08 last week, one of many things actually, was that most people think that Engage Software only provides DotNetNuke Training. While we do provide training, and have teamed up with the DotNetNuke Corporation to be an Official DotNetNuke Training Provider, training is not the only thing we do relating to DNN. Actually, while it has grown tremendously over the past year with our expanded marketing efforts, training makes up only a small portion of our business.More...

DotNetNuke Module Development Resources

chammond@engagesoftware.net — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:06:17 GMT

So for those of you who attended the Post Conference training last week after OpenForce you know we tried to squeeze too much information into the session and had to leave out some of the important items from the module development topics. This blog post will hopefully serve as a pointer to get you headed in the right direction for your module development!More...
