ExpressionEngine is a Content Management System developed by EllisLab. It is a flexible, feature-rich content management system, which is used by top designers and web professionals across the world to build and manage their websites. It is written in the world's most popular web scripting language, PHP, and built on the MySQL database server.
Building Websites with ExpressionEngine 2 starts off with the basics of setting up the ExpressionEngine and then goes on to explain more advanced features that will enable users to create and manage their own websites. Furthermore, users will learn to build an events calendar and a photo gallery, to manage members and member groups, to optimize their website and avoid repetition, to take backups and to remove the index.php file for cleaner URLs.
