Building an ExpressionEngine Site by Michael Boyink.

Sorry about the lighting in this video. I didn’t realize how much the outside light was shifting until after I was done recording. Since one of my goals is to produce these in 30 minutes or less I just left it as is since I was just about out of time. But now I know and that’s half the battle right?

Next week Jones and I have cooked up something completely different. We’ll be attending a funeral so make sure your black formal wear is ready to go.

EE-1.6 RIP…EE-2.0 (with full commerce module) Happy Birthday 😉

Edit-Add: And thanks to all that have helped over the years. If I even tried to list everyone it would be a mile long.

Leslies suggestion to give public thanks to users here is a great one.

First up: LisaJill - who hasn’t recieved help from her. Outstanding customer service even before joining the ellislab team.

Wow.  What a nice surprise.

Firstly - you’re welcome.

And secondly - thanks right back to you.

When I look at how much of my income comes from EE work these days the time it’s taking to write up the tutorials is pretty insignificant.

I had to chuckle though - you pronounced my last name like every new school teacher I ever had.  It really is a one-syllable, sound effect name…:-)

Too many people and their tid bits to thank. But Boyink and mdesign are my local EE heros, and I wouldn’t be where I’m at without those two guys.

Like the pogo stick…boyink…boyink…boyink 😉

A big thank-you to the people who donate code-snippets, plug-ins, extensions and modules to the community.
(solspace, mark, boinkboyink and others come to mind).

Next to the EE-comunity, i would like to thank Derek Allard. I came to EE via Codeigniter. Handcrafting our php-based websites, i was looking into some frameworks for a bit of structured (OO/MVC) programming. Looked at Derek’s Bamboo a bit and found out about EE. A lot of things happened since then, and around the time Derek joined Ellislab, my main-programmer didn’t really want to jump boat to CI and i decided to give EE a try as a basic CMS for some of my client-projects. However, I’m still a newbie and trying to learn EE tags and stuff.

Millie Grazie! Muchas Gracias! Dankschen! Merci! Dank je! A Thousand Thanks to the many folks at EE and in the International EE Community who have helped this poor soul on his journey through EELand! Your Illuminations have made the path easier.

Salutations to all..

I too want to thank ALL who contribute to this community with advice and/or code. Like Leslie said, we have the opportunity to make each others day that much better by offering a helping hand. I’d like to thank a few individuals who have helped me out numerous times and made my days that much better.

Thanks to Mr. Wilson who has helped me more times than I can count. From answering my endless questions to writing a plugin for me! He’s a gifted developer and quite a nice fellow. Thanks to Lisa Wess for providing answers and always asking the right questions to help me think through problems. Thanks to Sue Crocker. She is such a friendly and helpful personality who is always ready to help. Thanks to Leslie (the mouth piece of EllisLab) for providing such great communication between EllisLab and the community on a personal level. Thanks to Derek Jones for his knowledgeable technical help for overcoming obstacles.

And those are just a sampling of the folks who have helped me.

Lastly but not least, thanks to the EllisLab team for Expression Engine and the experience that comes with that. A tool that makes working with websites so much simpler than it used to be. Which in turn makes working with clients easier too.

I have to thank Lisa Wess for helping me and everyone else who has ever breathed the word, “ExpressionEngine.” Without you, I and a lot of other people would be wandering around in circles.

Thank you Paul, Derek, Lisa and Robin for the past few years support. Virtual pints of Guinness for all of ye!
