Summary

In this chapter, we have discussed the meaning and purpose of web portals, and what successful web portals have in common, looked at different types of open-source web portals, and discussed why we selected DotNetNuke. We then met our fictional client Coffee Connections, and using user stories, gathered the requirements to build its site.

The next chapter will cover the always-enlightening task of installing the software. We will cover what we need to run DotNetNuke and describe the process of installing the framework.
