I'm new to DNN and have downloaded dnn.4.08.03 source and starter kit and have installed both.  I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005.  After reading alot of information in the doco and online, I'm trying to decide what is the best and quickest method for developing a new module.  The modules I want to create are a bit complicated and I've already developed as projects in asp.net.  Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Here's a thread that addresses two schools of thought on module development.  Other than deciding which method you will use, I would continue to digest the module developers guide authored by Michael Washington.  Also, loading the source code of the core dnn modules and looking through that code is a great way to learn.

Hope this helps and welcome to DNN

A lot really depends on where you want to take things.

But I would suggest you have a look at VS2008 and .net 3.5 as a long term goal for module development.
Its a pretty safe bet that much of future DNN support will be headed in that direction.

You may also want to have a look ath the discussions by michael washington regarding LINQtoSQL as well.
Ive been developing a new site based around that methodology and its really boosting development speeds
to no end - just not having to deal with DAL structure setups is a bit of a godsend on complex module sets.

As for workflows - if you modules are going to be inhouse - that is no need for closed compiled dlls.
Then I cant more than recommend the dynamic module approach - it makes for easy debugging and
no compile round tripping.
