    My new book, Building Websites with ExpressionEngine 2, is available now. For those who read my previous ExpressionEngine book, this is less of an update and more of a complete re-write. The book is aimed at beginners - each chapter takes a step-by-step approach to accomplishing the task at hand so it’s easy to follow along even if you know very little about ExpressionEngine to begin with.

    Topics covered include installing EE, setting up a website, allowing comments, building a calendar, building a photo gallery, RSS feeds, 404 pages, members & member groups, doing backups & upgrades as well as an overview of popular add-ons.

    If you’re interested, it can be purchased directly from the publisher (Packt Publishing) or from Amazon.

    If you’re reading it (or have read it), don’t hesitate to send me feedback, suggestions, errata, etc. I love hearing from readers.

    A special thank-you must go to my technical reviewers, Bob Sutton and Sarah Peterson, who diligently read each chapter of my 1st draft and provided insightful feedback. The book is as good as it is thanks to them!

    I’ve just had the pleasure of reviewing it Leonard. All I can say is well done on another very comprehensive EE book!

    Wow, that was fast! Thanks for taking the time to both read & post your thoughts. I’m glad you liked it. Did you miss the toast theme from the first book though?

    lol… the Packetpub email arrived last week so I thought I just get straight onto it 😊

    Didn’t miss Totast at all. I think replacing Toast with a “free open source” template was a smart move, as it demonstrates how easy it is to use EE with virtually any premade template.
