ExpressionEngine 2.0 Ready Add-ons

A list of add-ons that have been ported to EE 2.0. The list is compiled by the fine folks at Devote-EE.

Unfortunately, the list is short and doesn't include any of my "must have" ExpressionEngine add-ons.

ExpressionEngine 2.0

Straight from the ExpressionEngine's blog:

ExpressionEngine 2.0 will be released on December 1st, 2009. The Commercial license will retail for $299.95, the Non-commercial license for $149.95, and there is a new license type called Freelancer. We’ll have more info on Freelancer in November but the basic idea is that its an easy way for a freelancer (or small team) to deploy EE 2.0 on their own website for $99.95 (please note that the Freelancer is not the Commercial license, just cheaper). If you purchased EE 1.6.3 or later, the upgrade price to 2.0 is only $50 (the retail price difference). That’s a year and half (plus) of grace period on upgrades.

Coder Girl

Love this video! Great to see female coders getting a song of their own.

*** Buy your Coder Girl t-shirt here



Coder Girl Lyrics:

to be the keys underneath her finger tips

Her class makes a brotha's back buffer wanna flip

and be number one on her link list

and get a callback, I'm in all caps

feels like my first hello world

what it is to run with a coder girl

and it ain't hard to like how she writes

with her pretty interface, plus her source is tight

wanna get in where I fit in like a plug-in

this is the true meaning of computer lovin'

She's got a data stack that's straight stunning

No mismatch, exceptions or debuggin

invariably, how would I pass this

when my coder girl grants me root access

basically, she's a certified A+

yo, it's more than just technolust

(chorus)

Feels like my first Hello World 'cause

She's my Coder Girl

Man, I had to dedicate this one

To my Coder Girl



I'll put it like this, so you can understand

She makes me wanna update to be a better man

When we compile she's easy to interpret

A cross-platform version I can work with

She's not wrapped in flash

all she wants is her java and a shell to bash

While, she's a sight to C, plus

Her smile glimmers just like a Ruby does

She could never be subroutine

The high priority process of my machine

Sharper than most chics ya' know

She's not another shallow copy actin' sudo

It's that good type dependancy

I function better with C.G. next to me

and it always leads to an overflow

When it's runtime and we take it slow
