I’ve been collecting all the photos, videos, slides and more from my recent trip to San Francisco and the ExpressionEngine CodeIgniter Conference. There’s still plenty more reports, photos, videos et cetera appearing all over the internet, so if you’re interested keep checking back and I’ll update this post with other’s wrap-ups, as I’m sure there’ll be many.
If you missed it, the second ExpressionEngine CodeIgniter conference was held from May 31st - June 2nd in the Fort Mason Centre in San Francisco, California, United States of America.

expressionengine, idiot
I’m extremely annoyed with myself. Let this be a lesson to everyone who is working on a project and has put anything more than 2 hours work into it: Back up and use some form of version control. If you don’t, you’ll seriously regret it. Anyway, let me tell you a story…
