Canada & ExpressionEngine

The silence here isn’t because I don’t care about you anymore. Oh, quite the contrary. Things slowed down because I was traveling the last 8 days in Toronto and teaching two ExpressionEngine classes to a group of enthusiastic web developers.

Teaching ExpressionEngine and seeing how people new to the CMS positively react to it and what it can do reminded me that a lot of what we take for granted day in and day out is still a big deal. At the end of the day ExpressionEngine solves problems for people creating websites. It’s always good to be reminded of that.

While in Toronto I was able to take in some local sights and food (and beer). I also had the good fortune of attending the local Toronto-ee meetup. They kindly arranged it close to my hotel and we spent a couple of hours sharing stories, drinking beer and eating food. Usually EECI is the only time I get to see other EE people (that don’t live here in Austin), so this was a real treat.

Thanks to Sean Smith for organizing it and for everyone who attended.
