Instructor [Dustin Peterson]
Dustin Peterson, Managing Director of 10 Pound Gorilla and Owner of Clear Graphix LLC, has always been an entrepreneur. He started his first business at the age of 14, mowing lawns. Four years later, he had 38 clients a week and money in his savings account.

A short time after studying graphic design at the University of Kansas, Dustin was introduced to DNN in 2004 and began working with it on a daily basis. Over the years, Dustin has watched the framework evolve and has worked with many third party modules and vendors in the DNN community. He strives to find creative ways to leverage DNN’s CMS, the modules and themes to increase efficiency. Dustin’s goal: to make sure clients can update and maintain their websites without many challenges.

“Web admins should focus on their job,” he says. “For most, that involves adding and managing content, not designing it. It’s my job to design the site and set it up in a way that’s accessible and easy for my clients.”

If he’s not sipping on an iced tea at a local coffee shop or co-working space in Denver, you’ll find Dustin outside in the Colorado sunshine, playing soccer, mountain biking, or traveling.

About
DNN8 brings new approaches, tools and techniques to module development within DNN. In this “DNN Programming 101” course, we will cover them all, introduce you to SPA and MVC modules, but we will also stick with the “tried and true” module development approaches that work in DNN7 and DNN8. This is hands-on training, and we’ll provide the tools so that you can test and learn the current best practices and how to extend them to DNN8 and beyond.

Using a hand-on approach, each attendee will be tasked with creating a fully functional module to perform data entry and reporting.

Pre-Requisites
Attendees need to be versed in C# programming and some minimal SQL experience.
