This was a good introduction to ExpressionEngine. It's a very easy read. If you've got a basic understanding of HTML you should have no problem.
The book leads you through building a simple newspaper website in ExpressionEngine. There's lots of screenshots and code examples to help you through. This book just scratches the surface of what is possible with ExpressionEngine, but it shows you just how powerful it can be.

This is a great book about an amazing CMS. If you have used WordPress as a CMS this will blow your socks off. I am officially a fan. Oh, and the book is a great learning aid as well. I feel like I could develop a site using Expression Engine 2 tomorrow and only have a few questions.
