I'm trying to find a .NET-centric alternative to the Plone CMS package. For
those not familiar, Plone is an open source CMS built on the Zope
application server which is built on Python. I'm the developer, trying to
weasel out of learning the very large and complex Zope system. Criteria
would be:
1. low purchase cost, hundreds instead of thousands
2. geared towards medium-sized intranet development, rather than community
site building
3. good document handling capabilities, some forms facilities
4. at least somewhat open source & extensible using .NET development tools,
preferably VB.NET
I have been crawling the web for days, and found many. Now I am looking for
your personal experiences and favorites .
Thanks.

DotNetNuke works pretty well, but it is more community oriented. It's got
a pretty good module development model though. It's also one of the most
supported .NET CMS's out there.
try http://www.axcms.net/en_axcms_servic...?ActiveID=7251
Free........... .always a nice to have.

Windows SharePoint Services should be considered.

Just to expand on Clinton's answer:
Windows Sharepoint Services is FREE and runs on Windows Server 2003 (and
newer offerings ;-). It uses SQL Server to manage the content, has a very
well documented API, and provides basic portal capabilities for intranet
use. It integrates very well with Microsoft Infopath, which is a forms tool
that comes shipped with Microsoft Office (scores of folks have this tool and
are not aware of it). Not to be confused with Sharepoint Portal Services
which is a retail product (e.g. it costs a little money) that is built on
TOP of Windows Sharepoint Services. Here's a link to more info on both WSS
and SPS http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...t/default.mspx
For some intranet requirements WSS is fine. For very large intranet
deployments, I'd suggest Sharepoint Portal Server. Note: Microsoft's
internal intranet is mostly Sharepoint Portal Server. It is managing
terabytes of document data. For more info on how Sharepoint is used within
Microsoft, see: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/its.../msit/sps.mspx
Hope this helps,

Any advice on benchmarking tools / techniques ? I have no budget for

good to know.

I'm perusing a slide with roughly 12 bullets spread across 3 pages.
Each bullet reflects 'advice'. I'm ok with all but 1 bullet, more
specifically the bullet that states:
" Avoid the STL unless absolutely necessary "
Now, I'm not acclimated with much C++ history, but something tells me
this is akin to trepidation that surrounded C++ during it's inception?
IOW, is this 'old school' rhetoric or ..... How do you refute this
argument?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
