On Tuesday March 6th, 2012 Adam Humphrey of Adammer presented “Pushing Pixels in the DotNetNuke Ecosystem (Principles of DotNetNuke Skin Design)” to the Bay Area DotNetNuke User Group.
Presentation Description:
This discussion will cover both basic and advanced real world skinning techniques and methodologies with an emphasis on web standards and design flexibility/fluidity. Unencumbered by past precedent, this promises to be a lively and informative discussion, even for the non-technical.
