At the time of writing this, I’m developing my first site in ExpressionEngine. The book “Building an ExpressionEngine Site: Small Business” was just in time for me, so I can finish the site in much less time that planned. Many thanks to the author for sharing his rich experience with ExpressionEngine.

The ‘real-world’ work throughs you gave on the Boyink site helped us get our heads around EE. I can only imagine it was a labour of love!
The printable ‘book’ has made this valuable reference a little more portable for us.
Print’s not dead!

I’ve started yesterday reading your book and have to say - great work! Therefore the amount I’ve spent is nothing. Thanks a lot for your knowledge and sharing it.

A HUGE thanks to you for doing this! You have been a true blessing.
I discovered EE a few years ago, but never had the time to play with it enough to get that “light bulb moment” .
The firm I work for is so small we often do not have necessary experimental time to get through the learning curve. We could have used EE on a number of projects if we were ready.
I feel armed and dangerous in a good away. :-)

Thanks for taking the time to write these tutorials. They’ve been very helpful. While the online stuff is great I also like having printed material for reference until I get this stuff drilled into memory.

Thank you! I just stumbled upon EE the other day and since then I can’t believe how I have managed our content without this and your book will help make using EE a reality. Now is the problem of finding the hours and hours in my day to do this! :)

Thank YOU for writing the series! I discovered EE a few months ago and it has made my life as a freelance designer/developer much easier.
EE does almost everything usually requested by my clients which leaves me more time to focus on the front-end design.
EE is great and the documentation is clear and lucid - BUT it takes a while to figure out the workflow and your series has been the most comprehensive and instructive tutorial I have found on the subject.

Thanks for all your hard work; if it weren’t for you, I’d probably have given up on EE!

Thanks heaps for this book...I have EE tried a few times and always had to go back to Joomla, which is OK but so much mucking around to get things right.
This book has really made EE a REAL option for me now and I’m really enjoying it.
