What is the Student Record Management System (SRM) in Bulgarian Educational Site on C# [BEST.NET]?
The SRM serves as the central location where students, faculty, staff, and administration can access personal accounts associated with their division or department of Bulgarian University.

The SRM has been created with convenience in mind. By placing all account-related information in one location, Bulgarian University has streamlined the maintenance process, saving time and simplifying internal procedures.

A web-based C#.NET and ASP.NET chat system was written today (this night after I moil and toil entire day). This is a modular, object-oriented system that allows users to chat in multiple rooms, private chat and public chat [AMM modules] all without any client requirements other than html and MS .NET Framework. Currently server requirements are IIS 6.0 and .NET Framework 1.1 .
Web Based Chat in All Mass Media (AMM is a multimedia module in BEST.NET) with the Browser (and without Java!!!) - HTTP Chat is a complete chat system that uses the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to communicate and has a native client user interface. (Windows only) is the fastest, convenient, easily customized CS.NET -chat with Push-messaging (continuous updating). It can handle hundreds of simultaneous users and gives a lot of features like private messages, ignoring, user-profiles with photos, themes, emotions e.t.c. AMM Chat system is a chat program written on C# to be used in corporate/home settings where an internet connection is unavailable/undesirable. It is implemented in C#, using UDP multicast groups for communication.

Doesn't include a .NET authentication implementation. But has a host of new features. .NET v2.0. Includes new features such as SEO pagination and URL Rewriting.

We need ASP.NET and Visual C#.NET Forum in our Adaptive Educational LMS. The major news for this release are a redesigned group system in AMM Forum, forums can be moderated, uploadable avatars, and OpenSmtp.net for sending emails.

Today 10/16/2007 A NEW ASP.NET C#.NET Public Chat was developed in All Mass Media (The Multimedia module of BEST.NET architecture). It has Channels and Users ...

The leading beam of light in my stormy life is: To serve people, in the name of the good, is the only way to live. Words as "life" and "live" do not mean just "years". We are only guests in this world and I hope that I will be invited again,...this time in poeple's memory.

Login and Password for BEST.NET are denev / denev . After the Instalation YOU MUST CHANGE IT !!!

A Free Knowledge project will provide a specification [adaptive education], a reference model [edu process model, student model] and software prototypes [C# based] for an extendable e-learning web-based, or Virtual Learning Environment.

Interoperable content for creating and reusing learning objects. Easily customizable. Put your SCORM-formated courses and Learning Designs (LD) online. BEST.NET is designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind. BEST will deliver a framework for assembling a .NET modular platform for Learning Design. The selection of learning objects (LO) will be based on the semantically annotated specification of the user's current skills. Learning Objects are SCORM and IMS packages and SCORM-formated cources. The BEST.NET bundle includes a free library of e-learning SCORM-formated courses and a Content Management System which enables the rapid creation of professional learning designs in minutes. BEST.NET is an C# ASP.NET based system designed in such a way that it brings the teaching and learning activity to newer levels of adaptivity and event driven aproach. Such e-learning systems are also called Learning Management Systems (LMS) or Virtual Learning Environments (VLE).

Daniel Denev funded project Free Knowledge that will provide the .NET based software for supporting individuals, groups and educational institutions in lifelong competence development, using open-source [C# ASP.NET], standards-based [IMS/QTI and SCORM] and innovative technology [Microsoft Framework].

The purpose of the DotNetSCORM™ project is to create an Open Source Learning Management System using .Net technologies. BEST.NET is currently a SCORM compliant Learning Process Modelling and Management System (LPM&MS) with workflow management written in C#.NET and ASP.NET. These are mostly based upon the ADL Sample RTE. However due to the technologies used BEST.NET Can Be tightly integrated into the WindowsXP/2003 Server Server environment [Visual Studio 2003]. Therefore this projects goal is create a SCORM Compliant LMS to serve as a model for further development and use of the SCORM standard on the Windows Platform. ... read more

BEST.NET is still very much an active project, despite my lack of recent night-buildings of C#/P#.NET code and ASP.NET design. I'm just busy at the moment analysing a new dotNETSCORM course format that was run using the VB.NET/ASP.NET version of dotNETSCORM. This analysis will eventually emerge as a paper, along with some new BEST.NET code in the 2008.

BEST regards!

There's now some better installation documentation. You can find it in the "Documentation" section in SourceForge.net or http://88.87.24.147/Docs/Docs.htm, and also read it via the 'Documentation' link here on this SourceForge.net Wiki.

Plenty to do yet, but I'm getting there. BEST.NET Regards from me!

I offer to You a CVS client at http://www.wincvs.org/, WinCVS for windows users that works to Checkout your files. WinCVS provides a complete CVS client/server protocol package that allows any C# / ASP.NET program to implement the complete suite of CVS operations. I decided not to wait for your compressed files or get to a unix machine. It worked. I'm a novice at this but anxious to check things out on a Windows 2003 server. ... read more

ESs... , if you're keen to have a play with BEST.NET, you can download it using CVS (see the Download link on the home page).

Once I finish some rough edges (including documentation structuring and uploading, subproject integration, design) I'll put together a first integrated [sub-projects&modules] package.

BEST regards!

Well, I will get the domain name for IP http://88.87.24.147 -> http://freeknowledge.edu and FreeKnowledge will running BEST.NET at this URL from 09/10/07. There's still a big TODO list for modules, sub-projects and project's technical and users' documentation, but it's definitely gotten to the point where it's useful enough to run a software package like this one.

There's a lot of construction still going on, so mind your head and write e-mails to me on daniel.i.denev@gmail.com but from your mail accounts [not from e-mail system in SourceForge]!... read more
