This chapter highlighted many of their not-so-obvious features. If you understand how to get the most out of these key core modules, and master them, you will quickly build a solid foundation for building your own DNN website solutions. And quite possibly, once you get used to using some of the advanced features, you may find that you can accomplish far more with this base set of modules than you thought possible.

In the next chapter, I show you how to make extensive CSS changes throughout the website. You learn ...
