dotnetnuke 4, asp.net 2.0, and Inventory System Migration

Just a quick note to mark the start of the big migration for the retail store front application.
I will be migrating an existing oracle based application to DNN and ASP.NET.

This should be a great learning exercise with so many new tools:
  • DNN 4.X
  • SQL Server 2005 and new admin tools
  • Visual Studio 2005
  • ASP.NET 2.0
The port of the existing application should be a minor issue, but I plan on using the following approach. I will leave the existing Oracle Database and Application in place, and use a SQL Server 2005 Linked server to build a new ASP.NET application.

This will allow me to avoid a big bang approach and roll out new bits over an extended period of time. Once all of the functionality (and more) is running in ASP.NET against SQL Server 2005 stored procedures (hitting the Oracle DB), I can then port the oracle tables over to SQL and retire the Oracle DB and application.

I hope to be able to setup categories in the blog to keep the posts organized.
Let the games begin!


p.s. This is my first post using the Telerik RAD Editor. Should I add the RAD controls to the mix...Time will tell

About Me

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Bonnie and I have been writing software for over 20 years. After building financial data systems for Reuters for nearly 18 years I have started doing contract work and am excited about technology and currently focus on Microsoft solutions. DotNetNuke has helped provide a good introduction to ASP.NET web application development, and I am now starting to branch out into other areas. Data Access techniques and SubSonic is something that I am looking into now. This has helped me get an invitation to speak at Las Vegas at DNN Open Force 07. it was a great time. And I am looking forward to OpenForce08, where I wil be presenting on TDD for DNN.

 

Reading the codebetter blogs and attending a nothing but .net training class with JP Boodhoo helped spark my interest in ALT.NET. I attended the first conference in Austin Texas, and it was amazing to see Scott Guthrie introduce the ASP.NET MVC framework.
