ExpressionEngine 2 Book Excerpt

I’ve been getting great feedback on my ExpressionEngine 2 book both in the form of suggestions but also (and most importantly) errata. Writing a book on software is always a challenge but writing on something so new and freshly baked can be, at times, a nightmare. I’m thankful to everyone who has submitted errata reports and suggestions. The book is getting ready to go into another round of printing and will include many of the items reported.

As a way to help celebrate the book, the upcoming EECI conference and…well, we don’t really need a reason to celebrate, do we? Right, didn’t think so.

So as a way to celebrate something, I’m posting here as a free download the first part of Chapter 9 on Advanced Templating.

In Chapter 9 I walk through some cool things you can do in your templates beyond just the standard use of Channel Entries tag pairs. The excerpt covers searching inside of custom fields and leveraging dynamic parameters to create a more customizable user experience.

Enjoy!

Note: If you do decide to pick up the book directly from the publisher, you can get it as an ebook, which gives you a PDF version, an epub version for your iPad or iPhone and a mobi version for your Kindle. Lots of different ways to read the book!
