In the past 4 weeks I have given the Mash-Up Your DotNetNuke Using RESTful APIs presentation at the following three user groups:
Needless to say it has been a very busy couple of weeks, but I truly enjoyed speaking at each of them and will certainly consider doing it again.
The topic was also popular and well received by many, so much so that Will Strohl of ODUG wrote a very flattering blog post about the event in Orlando.
Finally without further ado, I am please to make the slide-deck, source and resources available for download.
Please feel free to post comments, questions, suggestions in comments area below.
What’s in the download package?
In the download package I’ve included shortcut links to all the resources I have used in the demo. Links include the project homepages of the third-party .net wrappers as well as other useful resources.
The package, of course, includes the full source code of the module I developed for the presentation as well as the PowerPoint slide-deck.
Step-by-step instructions for the source code are outlined below.
Setting up the source code
Open and extract the contents of the Mash-Up Demo Module.zip archive included the package download into your DesktopModules folder. You should end up with a folder called sMashUp.
Now follow the step-by-step instructions below to get the module registered and installed in your DotNetNuke instance:
- Go to Host >> Module Definitions
- Located and click on the Import Module Definitions action item
- Select the sMashup.dnn entry in the Module Definitions dropdown
- Initiate the Import Manifest action
At this point you should have the module installed in DotNetNuke, but there is one more thing you’ll need to do to get it fully operational, which is, to do a build.
Open the project located in DesktopModule/sMashup/sMashUp.vbproj in Visual Studio and fire a build.
That’s it, at this point, the module’s assembly DLL should be in your DotNetNuke’s bin directory and ready to go.
