During the free webinar, Jae will go over the basic setup, fundamental concepts, and some of the powerful ideas that can be implemented using EE, using real-world examples from past and current projects. Aimed primarily at designers, developers, and site owners new to ExpressionEngine, you'll find that many of the features and improvements put EE in the very short list of content management platforms for your next website.

Presenter Jae Barclay of ejaeDesign (www.ejaedesign.com) has been a member of the highly selective EE Pro Network for the past 4 years, and have created over 30 EE-based websites ranging from Fortune 1000 clients to a one-person startup. So join us on for this informative and practical session. We look forward to having you at our seminar, Introduction to ExpressEngine!

During the 60 minute webinar, we'll cover the following topics:

What is ExpressionEngine 2.0?
Why ExpressionEngine 2.0?
Tour of the control panel
Adding, editing, and managing content
Power of add-ons
Q&A

ExpressionEngine 2.0 features many new advantages over not only its previous branch (1.6.x) and other content management systems, including the following that we'll touch on:

New base code, written on the CodeIgniter PHP framework
New interface with mobile support
New file manager and image library
New template debugging tools and improvements in its highly praised template engine
New customizable publish & edit form layouts and field types
New full-screen write mode with customizable UI

I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU. It was my first time attending and it was absolutely great. You answered all the questions & I learned a lot.

Really enjoyed the class. I’m very new to getting a website going and I learned a lot about ExpressionEngine 2.0.
- Mauna

Thanks for the awesome Intro to EE yesterday. After seeing what EE is capable of, a developer has to be crazy not to get into it!
- Dezzi

A really great introduction to Expression Engine…real collaborators spirit. This intro was inspiring and very open and honest!
- Nathan

Thank you so much for taking the time to show EE today. I thought you kept things very simple and easy to understand for a beginner like me.
- Rob

Very nice session today and exceptionally well presented. Your knowledge of your material and style of delivery was very engaging.
- Dave

Thank you for the webinar. It was quite informative and easy to understand.
- Paris

I was able to grasp EE better in what it’s capabilities are. I recommend this short intro in EE for anyone interested in CMS web design.
- Hideki

Seeing EE in use makes me very interested in the system. I’m definitely proposing to my boss that we add EE to our workflow!
- Jonathan

Great webinar and thanks for some of the clarifications. Hoping to see another more advanced one soon. Just a note, you mentioned that EE is not opensource, but perhaps you ment it’s not free, as I have just downloaded it and it seems as opensource as it gets

Also thanks to Randy from geise.com for explaining some of the EE terms.

I am off now to play around with EE

Thanks Trajche - you’re right about OpenSource vs. commercial software, and they’re not always opposite of each other.

EE is based on OpenSource technologies (although code is 100% proprietary to EllisLab).

Thanks for the important distinction!

Introduction to ExpressionEngine 2

Jae's class is about sharing real-world ExpressionEngine experiences. I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn the ins and outs of ExpressionEngine!

I really enjoyed the webinar! Very informative! I feel I have a much better understanding of BrilliantRetail.

Jae is extremely knowledgeable and very generous with sharing real-life industry tips and his best of practice techniques.

The depth of knowledge and the complete transparency of sharing of real world projects is well worth the time and cost.

My first webinar with you was excellent. I really appreciate you addressing the setup of an e-commerce store from a legacy system.

Great job on the class tonight. I almost feel like I got my money's worth from this session alone with the knowledge I will take into future projects!

I could never have imagined how informative and useful this webinar class was going to be! I would definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in EE.

Great class, once again. I really enjoyed & learned a great deal that I will be putting to the test. It was extremely informative and thanks for the videos, I constantly refer back to them for support.

This is clearly the best training investment I have ever made! Jae incorporates techniques that would take months/years to uncover on your own.

You couldn’t ask for more as a turbo-driven boost to reaching a professional level in Expression Engine. The best value course I’ve ever taken.

Jae did an excellent job with the lesson plans, starting from the foundation and worked his way up to a live webpage.

Thanks to your basic HTML/CSS class I was able to make it work much more easily than I would have otherwise. The difference from where I was before the class is night and day.
