Weekly Wrap: September 28, 2012
The last Weekly Wrap of the month and we are cruising our way to next month’s EECI outside of Austin, Texas. If you haven’t gotten your ticket yet, what are you waiting for? Do it now.
The past couple of weeks I’ve had a couple of opportunities to talk about ExpressionEngine. First, as I mentioned before, I was on a CMS panel at Drupal Day here in Austin.
This past Wednesday evening I shared my experience building the e-commerce store for Mijingo at the Austin EE meetup. A great group of folks came out to hear me talk about what I’ve done to sell digital products online for the last four years. We’re in a good place with e-commerce right now. Especially if you think about where we were just 4 years ago!
Finally, I recorded an episode of the ATX Web Show, a podcast about the web design and development scene in Austin. I talked about all sorts of stuff, including ExpressionEngine. I’ll link it up when the show goes live.
It’s been a great ramp up to EECI next month. But for now I need to settle in and work on my talk for the conference.
Okay, let’s get to the news!
