2sxc now has features you didn't know you can't live without. Now you know!

Page icons and favicons seem trivial, until they should look great on all kinds of devices and screen resolutions. We've researched this in extensive detail and would like to share our findings with you.

Courses are like events, except that they are either recurring, belong to a series and/or have limited seats on each event. We developed a simple solution for this, and are now open-sourcing it. 

Mobile web sites have a strong need for content which collapses to form its own table of contents. This is now very easy with the accordion-app, which shows any kind of content-block or app inside its inner content. 

ICATT released an open source solution-template for magazine sites with content-types, templates and themes. It looks awesome and uses DNN and 2sxc. A quick declaration of love...

Our newest revolution (yes, that means turning...) on 2sxc is shake support to show in-page editing buttons. Shake it!

We just released a brand new set of content templates, optimized for Bootstrap 3 themes (skins). Now, both layout and content look great!

DNN (without 2sxc) is a bit scary for non-developers - because whenever you read tutorials you end up thinking that Visual Studio is the way to go, that you must use C#, and that anything you develop like that won't work in the near future. Which is kind of correct... So I created a short video showing how to create any kind of App - in this case a News-App - using just [Token]-templates, a few views and more. Simple, future-proof, web-designer-optimized. Have fun, try it out, enjoy.

Modern mobile devices can use web sites as if they were installed native Apps - and the distribution works through normal web servers, not through App-Stores. This opens many opportunities to create HTML based Mobile-Apps much cheaper and faster. These Apps work on all platforms and are easy to update when working with an awesome CMS like DNN/2sxc. Let me show you how to do this...

I'm continuously writing various posts related to responsive web sites. This post simply keeps tabs on the entire series (6 parts by now).

Retina and high-res displays are a challenge when you want to do them correctly - but we discovered a very simple solution to this about 2 years ago, which I would like to share. Let's make our DNN sites amazing!

This is part 4 of my first series about beautiful content. In this part we'll learn that we can create amazing templates using simple technologies like Token-placeholders. And we'll discover how to integrate the image-resizer, use presentation-settings and more.

This is part 3 of my first series about beautiful content, in which I explain a basic content/template separation and the user experience with 2sxc.

This is is part 2 of my first series about beautiful content, in which I explain the organizational and technical challenges we have, and the right tools to solve these.

A lot of web sites have terrible looking, non-responsive, non-retina content. This is very common when non-designers (including programmers) manage the content - which is the core goal of a CMS. Let's change this once and for all!

If you're an old-school DNN developer you're used to using ASP.net Forms - and you've developed tricks and techniques to compensate for various issues like clean SEO-HTML, JavaScript-Control-IDs and more. You've also implemented 3rd party controls (like a Telerik Grid) and spent hours of your time trying to compensate for certain shortcomings. Well, it turns out that this is not necessary any more - but most DNN-dudes don't realize this yet. Because the future is in absolute HTML control - using Razor. Let me tell you why, and how to get started.

This is part 1 of the Series The Future of DNN Speaks Razor. In this post I'll explain why you have to migrate now.

I used to believe QR codes were useless marketing gimmicks. Then I visited Japan in 2011 and QR codes were everywhere. You could see them on the walls of skyscrapers in Tokyo, on product packaging - and even on every tiny 1x3-inch ads in the magazines. Usually it's time to re-evaluate an opinion once you see that an large, smart group of people have an opposing point of view. So I re-evaluated.

In this blog I would like to tell you what the QR-Code is (in case you're new to it), why it's great, and how to make bad and good QR-codes (as it's easy to botch up).

Let's get strategic - and break some points. Not share-points but breakpoints :).

To understand the challenge: we're creating a website and want it to be responsive. One of the aspect of a responsive site is that it responds to the screen size - presenting the content as best as possible at every possible screen size - and there are thousands of screen sizes - multiplied by browser types and you'll get a lot of test scenarios - too many, to be exact. So we need a strategy...

Remember the old days when we pretended we had What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get? Right now I'm writing this blog on the Telerik-editor built into DNN and it's terrible. But that's ok, with responsive webs, the WYSIWYGs days are over.

Responsive strategies beat Adaptive strategies in about 99% of all cases. So I'll start with explaining what these words mean, and show how Responsive has already kicked Adaptive's but. Then we'll see some statistics and likely explanations.

Many people believe they can create a responsive website simply by downloading a responsive skin. This is like creating a great present simply by buying the right gift-wrapping - it barely scratches the surface. 

This is part 1 of my special responsive/mobile/retina series, in which we first figure out what we're actually trying to do, and segment it into a horde sub-topics.
