ExpressionEngine Partials Talk Slides
John D. Wells posted the slides from his GeeUp talk called “Partials: A DRY template pattern. Now part of EE core.”
That about says it all. John gives an informative walk-thru of how partials will help you. Even without seeing John give the talk, the slides are very helpful.
The addition of real layout support in EE is a huge step forward. No more hack arounds needed. And, layouts even support dynamic variables that you can set similar to embed variables. But better because it’s not embeds.
The update to my ExpressionEngine training course (coming out tomorrow) covers layouts and it was a joy to be able to teach that instead of the old embed way, which was easily abused at the expense of the performance of your website.

Hey there, Ryan! Any upgrade pricing available for the updated courseware? You gave me my original “lightbulb moment” about 4 or 5 years ago!
