EE Podcast: DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) Techniques in EE

John Rogerson, Director of Web at Sewanee: The University of the South, joins the podcast again to share his tips for efficient EE development using DRY techniques.

John details his two-fold DRY approach in EE, starting with MVC approach of separating your data controllers (i.e. template tags, channel queries, etc.) from your views (i.e. html). John then discusses the DRY goal of using one embed per template with an add-on, like Stash, that maps your data output to your views. John even put together a DRY template example on GitHub to demonstrate this DRY method.
