This week, for the second time in a month, Charles Nurse and I find ourselves at a conference speaking about DotNetNuke. One of my sessions focuses on the subject of "Open Source on the Microsoft Platform," (the other tackles "Invisible AJAX") while Charles presents a two-part talk on "Advanced DotNetNuke Module Development" as part of the same .NET track here at DevTeach Vancouver. In my absence, I thought it fitting to tackle a question I'm certain to be asked many times as I walk the floor at DevTeach, which is also the subject of my latest blog - "You Should Learn DotNetNuke." -- "I picked up the latest issue of MSDN magazine this evening and, as usual, opened it to the {End Bracket} column on the last page first. I like {End Bracket} because it usually contains an honest, focused message from a random developer in the Microsoft development community. The title of the column this month, "You Should Learn SharePoint", caught my eye because not a day goes by without someone asking me whether they should choose DotNetNuke or SharePoint for their development project." "My standard answer to the above question is that each product has its own strengths and weaknesses; therefore, the only way to make an educated decision is to identify and carefully weigh all of criteria for your specific project. Once all the criteria has been documented, the next step is to determine which product better meets your requirements. But this is not always an easy task." "So getting back to {End Bracket}, I found the '5 good reasons" for Developers to learn SharePoint rather interesting. The reason I found it interesting is because I personally feel that one of SharePoint's main strengths is that it has been designed from the ground-up as a great tool for administrators and content editors - not for Developers. The most recent version of SharePoint has attempted to knock down some of these barriers, but it still comes up far short in my honest opinion as a productive developer platform. So lets look at the specifics from the article..." [Full blog here]
