Video of the ExpressionEngine talk at South by Southwest

April 16^th, 2008

I’ve wrote about my 2008 South by Southwest experiences earlier, but try as I might, one of the things I just couldn’t capture was the fun and excitement I felt when we gave our presentation. For my part, I got to chat for 10 minutes about CodeIgniter and ExpressionEngine, and the communities, and future plans. It was a blast. Kind of like being secret agent revealing stolen plans ;)

After SxSW, I wrote up a blog entry for EllisLab called ExpressionEngine 2.0, fully CodeIgnited, where I tried to outline (on a professional level) all the cool s**t we had in store, and (on a personal level) how excited I was. That excitement part… yeah, didn’t come through. So today I leared that Andru (Dru) Edwards posted the video that he made during one of the presentations. Pure Awesome.

If you want to learn a bit about the future of ExpressionEngine, CodeIgniter, and our plans as a company for opensource, ecommerce, and all points in between, then take the time to watch it at http://video.gearlive.com/video/article/q208-bleeding-edge-tv-expressionengine-20-sneak-preview/.

I hope it captures a little bit of the excitement I get to feel every day.

“Pure awesome.”
That pretty much says it all.

I really cannot wait to dig into the code. Get busy! ;).

Awesome ! Your speach’s too cool !

What about the moment when we can read on screen about new libraries: “Session, HTML generation, Form generation”, is there a plan for a good form generation lib, or will it be the actual form helper one (that is actually more a string generator than a real form library...) ?

Can we have more Codeigniter news please? All this talk of EE 2 is great, but I really want to know more about the JQuery library. Please??

Nothing has changed, we’re working on it. When we feel its at the same code quality and stability as the rest of CI, we’ll release it. The jQuery lib is part of a much larger build process for us that includes EE2.

Hi Derek. I know you now work for EllisLab. So does it mean that you’ll forcus on EE coverage now?

Derek Allard wrote on April 19^th, 2008 @ 16:05

Hey Alex. Not at all. EllisLab encourages me to pursue my passions, and I’m passionate about CodeIgniter. At the moment we’re rebuilding ExpressionEngine in CodeIgniter (that is the major point of the video if you watch it) and so my time is spent with both EE and CI at the moment.

There is a lot of exciting stuff coming up for CodeIgniter, and that is almost entirely because of the commitment that EllisLab has but towards it.

Its a good time to be a code igniter-er ;)

Derek, that’s awesome. Knowing real people behind CI and EE. I admire you guys who work hard on making others work easier. I am a PHP guy myself but never looked at CI even though I’ve heard of it for some time, I guess I might as well check it out. Thanks.
