The PHP Content Management/Framework Upgrades in ExpressionEngine 2

“A few months ago I wrote a series of articles highlighting
PHP-driven content management systems and frameworks, and I singled
out ExpressionEngine as one particularly impressive solution that
effectively balances the best features of both. This popular Web
development solution recently took another major step forward with
the July 12 release of ExpressionEngine 2.1, the product’s first
major upgrade in several years. Version 2 sports a number of new
features and significant improvements over its predecessor, many of
which I’ll highlight in this article.

“CodeIgniter Integration

“The company behind ExpressionEngine, EllisLab, Inc., also
happens to be the creator of another popular Web development
solution known as CodeIgniter. As EllisLab President Leslie Camacho
discussed during last year’s ExpressionEngine CodeIgniter European
Conference keynote, the blurring line between website and Web
application prompted the company to reconsider the strategy for
building ExpressionEngine 2, concluding that rebuilding the product
as a CodeIgniter application was the most effective way to
accommodate the increasingly sophisticated needs of
developers.”
