Your Weekly Devot:ee - October 27, 2011

Sorry for missing last week, but we were attending the incredible EECI conference in New York and were too busy schmoozing to sit down and write a weekly devot:ee post. But we’re back this week, and of note is the new Better Workflow add-on for EE2, which looks to address the entire workflow process which is more or less lacking in the current version of ExpressionEngine. They’ve obviously struck a chord with the EE development community because Better Workflow is a very strong seller. Congrats to Electric Putty for releasing such a useful add-on!
