In order to install DotNetNuke and a supporting database you will need either Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP (development only). This book covers a basic install of DotNetNuke using a SQL Server database as the Data Provider. You will need to have access to either SQL Server 2000 or MSDE (develop- ment only) on the same machine or a remote machine. To participate in the development chapters, you will need Visual Studio .NET 2003.
