DotNetNuke is NOT a portal
Many friends ask me that is it DotNetNuke same with other portal engine ?
My answer is NO.
I have made an “Executive Information System” based on DotNetNuke, and that's not a portal. I have made an “Sistem Informasi Sekolah” based on DotNetNuke, and that's not a portal. I have made a payroll application based on DotNetNuke, and that's not a portal. So, i can use to build many other types of applications including standard ASP.NET web applications with DotNetNuke.
DotNetNuke is not a portal. DotNetNuke is a Web Application Framework. You can use the services in the framework to build portals, but you can also use them to build many other types of applications including standard ASP.NET web applications, community sites, intranets, extranets, and vertical market application service provider ( ASP ) applications. In reality, it is a rich service layer on top of ASP.NET which eliminates much of the mundane coding required to build a web application from the ground up.
