PODCAST: ExpressionEngine - an Interview with Boyink
June 3rd, 2008
I had the great opportunity to sit and talk with Michael Boyink, of Boyink Interactive, about building a site with ExpressionEngine. We talked a bit about site architecture, which is important to cover when planning a site.
This is the first podcast in the new Re-Design Series, branded as a CreativeXpert podcast.

Michael is known for his online ExpressionEngine training both on his site, and his EE training site, Train-EE.com. This interview covers the basics of building a site with ExpressionEngine, a commercial Content Management System {CMS}. We also discuss site architecture, specifically for ExpressionEngine.
ExpressionEngine is a content management system, designed by EllisLab. It is available in a free “Core Version”, and in both “Personal” and “Commercial” versions after paying a one-time fee. The current version is 1.6.3. Version 2.0 has been announced for “some time in the summer of 2008″.
ExpressionEngine is intended to be a simple, yet powerful content management system; for instance, it requires no knowledge of PHP, (but allows you to use it, if you want) and has extensive online documentation and a very active community of users and developers, with regular participation of the company’s lead programmers and other key personnel.
