    Hello,

    I found https://dnndocs.com/ kind of parse. I also looked for books and found some on version 4 and 5. Are there any books or training documenation avaiable for those new to DNN. I see lots of videos but looking for something that follows a more structred path as I'm new to DNN.

      The most recent DNN book is Professional DNN7: Open Source .NET CMS Platform, and is available from some of the used book sellers on Amazon. Prices are fairly high, presumably because the book is out of print and somewhat in demand.

      There is also an online version at https://www.oreilly.com/l...-open/9781118850848/

      You have to pay to use the site, but there is a free trial available. The monthly fee is steep.

      The Professional DotNetNuke 5 book would seem to the available at a decent price, and would probably give you 80-90% of what you need to no, particularly the basics.

      The older books will give you a good introductions to the concepts and basics of DNN. What's radically different is the changing admin interfaces. With DNN 9, we have moved to the Persona Bar which replaces the toolbar type of interfaces.

        I agree that the older books are still good to understand how DNN works (which is important).
        But it's also true that an intro is missing on dnn docs (or maybe just an introduction video)

          Hi Joe,

          Some time ago I made a video for customers to get to know DNN. https://youtu.be/NIctr6QICUw
          I'm planning to do more videos especially for new users. So I would love to have your input for a more structured approach.

            The core didn't change. I start working in DNN since version 4.x, the module development skin designing & development still the same. The major area that DNN improves in every version is the performance and the control panel look n feel the db structure has very minor changes. 

            In short, if you have 4 or 5 tutorial it's enough to understand the DNN
