What is it
DNN KickStart a Windows program, developed in VB.NET to generate DNN 4 Modules.
This can be done by defining your fields in DNN KickStart or from reading database tables. 

What do I need?
Basicly only DNN KickStart!
You do not need a local DNN installation!
You do not need any developers environment!
You do not need a database!

Just create your field definitions in DNN KickStart.
Generate your module.
You can upload these module to any DNN 4 Portal you want to.

Optional:
Just create a database in SQL Server with your tables.
These tables will be converted to a module per table.
