Building Websites with VB.NET and DotNetNuke 4

Overview of this book

DotNetNuke is an open-source Content Management System and web application framework. DotNetNuke has taken the Microsoft world by storm and now at version 4, its community has grown to over 200,000 users. This book covers virtually everything you need to know to get your DotNetNuke website up and running. Concisely written and with clear explanations, this book is covers installation, administration, deployment, site creation and all of the basic built in DotNetNuke modules. For developers, chapters on the core architecture, skinning and custom modules, including coverage of the DAL+, give you the skills to customize and extend your site. The book starts off by giving you a deep understanding of working with basic DotNetNuke sites, guiding you through the features and giving you the confidence to create and manage your site. After that, you will journey to the heart of DotNetNuke, and learn about its core architecture. Always concise, relevant and practical, you will find out what makes DotNetNuke tick, and from there, you will be ready to customize DotNetNuke. Developers will enjoy the detailed walkthrough of creating a new custom modules. Special emphasis is given to the DAL+, an extended feature set of the DotNetNuke Data Access Layer (DAL). You will see how to create custom modules with the DAL+, and invigorate your module development. Web designers will enjoy the material on skinning, helping them to create a new look for their site. You will learn about creating new skins, and packaging them up for easy deployment. You will master all of this as you leap into the development of a DotNetNuke 4 site.

Chapter 1: Getting Started with Graphs

Graphs are mathematical structures that are used for describing relations between entities and are used almost everywhere. For example, social networks are graphs, where users are connected depending on whether one user "follows" the updates of another user. They can be used for representing maps, where cities are linked through streets. Graphs can describe biological structures, web pages, and even the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Graph theory, the study of graphs, has received major interest for years, leading people to develop algorithms, identify properties, and define mathematical models to better understand complex behaviors.

This chapter will review some of the concepts behind graph-structured data. Theoretical notions will be presented, together with examples to help you understand some of the more general concepts and put them into practice. In this chapter, we will introduce and use some of the most widely...
