Hi Phil,

If you start in dev with DNN, you should buy "Professional DotNetNuke Module Programming" or one of the other available books. Currently, there is no DNN 6 book but those related to DNN 5 can be used.
In short, a DNN module is nothing more than a standard UserControl inheriting from PortalModuleBase. If you have a good knowledge of ASP.NET dev, you should be able to create DNN module.
Concerning the Task Manager, may be you talk about the Scheduler? If yes, you can found several articles here, here or here. If your need is different, please provide the link about the video you talk about, I will guide you.

We (team members) are Humans offering their knowledge, their work and their spare time FOR FREE to benefit the community. It would be so particularly appreciated that your messages begin with "Hello" and end with "Thank you" or any other form of politeness. Ask yourself what your reaction would be, if you were approached by me (a total stranger) on the street to ask you something without saying "Hello" nor "Thank you"? After several years of services dedicated to the community, I begin to be tired to read requests without any form of politeness.

Philip,

I just wrapped up the first iteration of the Task Manager videos, though I need to get them organized and easily found/watchable. Right now they are a little all over the place in terms of finding them

In the mean time, what I would suggest is grabbing the source code for the module, you can get it from http://dnntaskmanager.codeplex.com as I just released v00.00.01 in both INSTALL and SOURCE options.

That being said, I will work to create tutorials out of each of the videos as well, but that is going to take some time due to the amount of content and other projects going on.

One thing you could look into is our DotNetNuke Training Subscription, specifically our Module Development course included in that comes with a PDF manual and full source for a "ToDo" module. The subscription gets you access to the recordings, materials, and even live training sessions (next live Module Dev is in october).
