Did you ever wonder: "Hmm, I'd really want to build an RSS reader just for myself"? No? Well, no problem, because now you can do it any way! With our new Feed Aggregator module released for Orchard CMS you can synchronize RSS and Atom feeds to your Orchard site.

There are a lot of modules available on DotNest, but not that many themes to style your sites. You asked for more, and we listened: the Basic Blog Theme by Márk Bartha is now available for all DotNest sites!

The GPU Day conference, organized by our partner, the Wigner Research Centre for Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, is a now traditional HPC and parallel computing conference in Budapest, Hungary. After last year our Hastlayer project will again be a featured topic on 22-23 June. If you haven't heard, Hastlayer is the magic that can turn your .NET software into hardware, so your program is now substituted by a (faster and less power consuming) computer chip!

A simple Orchard CMS module for sending texts via Twilio. The module provides a workflow activity called SmsActivity that you can use to send the texts.

The module offers a few configuration options available in Settings -> Cookie Consent. It is open source, generously donated to the world by Media On Demand Streaming Ltd and lazily maintained by me. You can grab it here.

When you're developing a visual studio extension you will likely have a test project that you test with. Well, I do anyway. And I quickly got sick of having to open it over and over. Your debug properties for your VSIX project probably look something along the lines of this.

C# 7 has been released by Microsoft and can be found in Visual Studio 2017. Two C# 7 features I have already mentioned include C# 7 Tuples and C# 7 Local Functions, both of which I am very excited about as I use these features quite a bit in Python.
