ExpressionEngine 2: A Quick-Start Guide

Cover of “ExpressionEngine 2: A Quick-Start Guide” by Ryan Irelan

by Ryan Irelan

Noted ExpressionEngine expert Ryan Irelan has taken his experience building dozens of ExpressionEngine websites and created this 200 page guide for web designers and developers new to the ExpressionEngine CMS.

Build an Entire Site

Learning a new skill or tool without context can be difficult. Using a sample site, ExpressionEngine 2: A Quick-Start Guide walks the reader through each step in the process of building an entire website on ExpressionEngine 2. Along the way the book highlights important concepts and issues that may come up while building a website on ExpressionEngine 2.

Advanced Concepts

To help the reader become more advanced in using ExpressionEngine, there is an entire section dedicated to learning some of the more advanced features of EE. Just like with the rest of the book, no programming knowledge is needed. The reader will learn about how to create relationships between different kinds of content, manage files and images in the new File Manager, optimize a site for the best performance, and extend an ExpressionEngine site with third-party add-ons.
