Educational Constraints

Our teacher Dr.Zubair A. Sheikh has not allowedus to use any Microsoft .Net technologies inSoftware Engineering course.

DotNetNuke is written using VB.Net, since mostof the students in FAST focus on C# and thus arenot used-to in writing VB.Net code. So, creation of modules in VB.Net for DotNetNuke can become

troublesome.Joomla is written in PHP and many students arefamilar with it, so creation of extensions for Joomla will be easy as compared to VB.Net
