Spotlight: A New Site for the DNN Community!

At the recent DNN-Connect conference in Switzerland, the new community site - DNNCommunity.org - was unveiled! This new site is intended to be the community’s new home and be a technology focused site. This site is a work in progress (we need your help!) and is an effort led by the Awareness Ecosystem Advisory group. There are some great things planned for the site and this site’s launch is yet another sign of the positive traction and energy in the community. It’s great to see this finally made public and I look forward to connecting with you on the site. I’ll be posting my first blog on the site soon!

Featured Content: ASP.NET Core Dependency Injection in DNN

In the past few months there has been a lot of discussion around the journey to getting DNN to run on .NET Core. Andrew Hoefling recently made an epic pull request that moves DNN one step further along in that journey. This was such an awesome contribution that DNN Technology Ecosystem Advisory Group Leader, Mitchel Sellers, posted a blog discussing Andrews pull request and what it means for the platform.
