Something that wasn’t maybe addressed, is CI on the verge of major changes as well?
Anybody wanting to get a jump start with codeIgniter need to know anything about what’s in the pipeline there? The current version cI 1.6.1 released February 12, 2008.

Thought I’ld ask, even though as LC said “I’m primarily a html/CSS guy.” 😊

That’s a good question.  And is the fact that CI was at 1.6.1 a coincidence - if not then it seems like CI 2 would be coming out as well? Maybe with the modifications/changes made through the dev of EE?

One cool thing I’ve just noticed from the podcast is the new ‘tabs’ feature at the top of the publish page..

If my understanding is correct, I could create a new tab called SEO, and drag custom fields like ‘Browser Title’, ‘Meta Description’, ‘Keywords’ etc and have them hidden within that tab…

Awesome.

I am a newbie and learning how EE works. At the moment coding my first template. Will it work on 2.x or I have to re-invent the wheel?

It will probably work, yes. No way to tell for sure, but since they said it was an “update”, not a “migration”, I doubt that you will have to redo much of your templates. At any rate, getting familiar with EE now is certainly not a wasted effort further down the line.

Our goal is to have all of EE 1.6.2 default/included features work in 2.0. We’re still seeing how close we can get to that but so far, so good. The other important thing is that while there are lots of under the hood changes the way the template engine works will be virtually unchanged. This means most things you learn in EE 1.6.2 will transfer in one way or another to 2.0.

Sounds great. I am glad that I picked EE.

Today I was checking if my site degrades nicely and afterwards I forgot all about having disabled javascript. And EE didn’t work! So, if EE works today it will work with all that fancy Ajax-y stuff as well. Or?

With this particular theme that is being demonstrated, Javascript will be a requirement.

Does that mean however Derek that it would be feasibly possible to create a template that wouldn’t require javascript to work. If it is mainly there for fancy effects and such could it not be made to work without them?
