She’s done hundreds of sites in ExpressionEngine and is an authentic spokesperson for the community itself.
Currently, Leslie Flinger is the Community Architect at EllisLabs.
During her session, Flinger brings an up-to-date report on ExpressionEngine is and where we will be able to take it going forward.
Building websites and applications as a side job, solo freelancer, or part of an agency has many challenges.
Having survived through each of these scenarios, I've learned a thing or two (thousand) along the way.
Finding and standardizing on ExpressionEngine has helped build my business faster, and serve clients better than I might have been able to, had I never bumped into
it.
Our discussion includes thoughts and stories from my business life with ExpressionEngine, and information about how it can help your business grow successfully as well.
The ExpressionEngine community is made up of many freelancers and agencies who work on many EE projects.
One of the most overlooked concepts when developing is developer documentation.
Its importance lies in the ability to add team members to a project, transfer a project in full to another party or just pick up an old project at any time with ease and fluidity.
In this presentation we discuss:
Sometimes we can't do a simple EE1 to EE2 upgrade.
Maybe you want a cleaner start but with the same entries.
Lea explains how, using Andrew Weaver's Data-Grab add-on, we can move our EE1 entries to EE2, how that process is similar from importing from other CMSs, and even how to export and import the Gallery module to channel entries..
Ready to move to ExpressionEngine 2? Ryan will give you the run-down on everything you need to know.
Learn what's changed in EE 2, potential stumbling blocks during an upgrade from EE 1 and other information to help prepare for the upgrade.
This presentation provides you with all of the information you need to begin the process of moving a website from EE 1 to EE 2.
Content rules the Web, however it's not always kind.
Going from the abstract content of a site to the absolute of ExpressionEngine fields isn't always as easy as you'd think.
In this informative session, Boyle walks through a site's content planning stages and provide insight into what you can do along the way to help you plan out the absolutes of your EE fields.
Because not everything always comes out of the box, EE provides an excellent interface to extend the system. We’ve seen it used for custom field types, improved UIs, and 3rd-party integrations.
In this session we’ll explore how to connect EE to a 3rd-party application, such as Twitter or Flickr, without breaking the core. We’ll examine logical data mapping between applications and talk through the ramifications of building a middleware module that relies on two discrete applications.
In geek speek, we’ll discuss how to intelligently build a full featured EE module. This is not your everyday “Hello World!”
