Technical Information About the Site

This site was developed in C# using a custom portal framework developed by Ryan Farley. The site is all managed without ever touching a page or a line of HTML. Pages are built dynamically at runtime and cached based on configuration data stored in a database for each page. New pages are added to the site by simply adding a page record in a database, along with specifying the elements (Modules) that make up the page and defining the data it is linked to, via pregnancy custom web and windows applications used for site administration. UserControls (called Modules) that make up the page content are assigned to a page (and section within the page) in a manner similar to SharePoint, DotNetNuke, and other common portals. All custom Modules are complied assemblies that all inherit from the same base class to provide integration to the site framework and then wired up to their skin (a custom ascx file to provide the visual front end for the Module) at runtime when loaded on to pages.

Articles are added to the site through a custom application which automagically formats the article text to maintain a standard look throughout the site as well as formats any contained source code samples to maintain color syntax highlighting.

Everything used in the construction of this site is custom built. That goes for the forums as well as the applications used behind the scenes for site administration, adding and formatting articles, generating newsletters, article comment and forum notifications, and even for analysis of traffic and site statistics.
