After day 2 of the ExpressionEngine class In Holland, I’m more excited than ever.  This has been a fabulous experience.  The hospitality that Mike Boyink and Collective Idea have extended to us has been above and beyond the norm.

About the class so far; there is a wide range of EE users in the class.  Some have never used EE before, while others have quite a bit of experience building sites with EE and well as other content management systems.  Nobody seemed bored with the elementary stuff, and yet nobody appeared overwhelmed with the nuts and bolts of EE.  Mike has done a great job of keeping the class focused, on track, and everybody on the same page.  Today we started building the architecture of the site by building new template groups, and using EE tags and variables to build navigation and pull in weblog data dynamically.  I can’t wait for the next two days of the workshop and to interact with a great group of people.
