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.
Working on the web automatically means we’re all some type of remote worker. But, what about when you expand your network? How does working in a distributed company differ from a solo situation? What are some benefits and pitfalls in structuring a company where none of your co-workers meet in person or share the same space on a regular basis?
EllisLab CEO Leslie Camacho joins EE Podcast this week to answer those questions and more about remote teams. Leslie fills us in on organizational structure, communication protocols, collaboration tools and legal considerations when working in a distributed company. Tune in!
You’d be hard pressed to find a website without some sort of image gallery these days. This week, we go through the various ways you can manage images with EE, briefly talk about EE1 to EE2 gallery issues, contemplate whether EE should be the primary manager versus pulling from a third-party service, native gallery creation, as well as the various add-ons that are available to make galleries and image management possible.
We have very busy lives, so anything that makes work go by more efficiently will help your bottom line and customer experience.
