software -DotNet Nuke

DotNetNuke is built on a Microsoft ASP.NET (VB.NET) platform, and can be easily installed and hosted.

DotNetNuke is an open-source software, licensed under an agreement. Typically, this license grants the general public permission to obtain the software free-of-charge. It also allows individuals to do whatever they wish with the application framework, both commercially and non-commercially, with the simple requirement of giving credit back to the DotNetNuke project community.

DotNetNuke is an open-source Web Application Framework ideal for creating and deploying projects such as commercial websites, corporate intranets and extranets, online publishing portals, and custom vertical applications.

Today, DotNetNuke continues to operate as the largest, most successful open source project on the Microsoft platform. Surpassing 500,000 registered users and 5.0 million downloads in late 2007, the project is gaining rapid adoption across all business segments, including the mid-market and enterprise. With a dedicated management team, passionate developer community, and prosperous ecosystem of vendors providing add-on products and services, the DotNetNuke project continues to grow and create a wealth of opportunities.

Based on its liberal open source licensing model, DotNetNuke has become Microsoft's industry standard framework for constructing enterprise web applications; and now more so with the support of AJAX.
