Exponent CMS 2.0: Sneak Peak Peek Invite
As everyone who's ever signed up for an account on this site is surely aware that yesterday we (OIC Group) sent out an announcement newsletter for our upcoming webinar on the 29th of this month. I'm sure another good handful of you also noticed we that misspelled the word "peek", which was spelled "peak". We had a good laugh over it, despite our itch of frustration that even a thorough comb-over of the content still left us misspelling the subject line itself. We'll let it be what it is though: a testament of our humanity. We do hope that you'll find the common ground there at least, and join us on the 29th for our Exponent 2.0 Kickoff.
Exponent 2.0 Open Source Debut
Online Innovative Creations (aka OIC Group) cordially invites you to join us for the first in a series of webinars leading to the official Exponent 2.0 Alpha Release in early July, 2009. The kick-off webinar entitled Camp Fire will be held the 29th of April at 6PM CST. Details are below, along with RSVP information.
The New Exponent
We've been quiet over the last year (admittedly TOO quiet), however, Online Innovative Creations has been diligently re-working the core code of Exponent. Based on an MVC architectural pattern, the resulting codebase is a robust framework offering rapid application development, a drastic increase in code re-usage, and a drastic decrease in code duplication.
The Administrative Interface has also undergone major enhancements, allowing an Exponent Administrator to quickly and more effectively manage all types of content, including Exponent's new and highly customizable E-commerce system, complete with online event registration.
While the new Exponent sports a new and powerful engine under the hood, the intuitive nature you've come to love about the system remains as the cornerstone concept for future development.
The Webinars
The goal of these webinars is to not only show off the powerhouse of flexibility that Exponent has become, but also to gather community support and feedback. More than ever, we are commited to making Exponent 2.0 a successful, well-managed open source project.
Each webinar will start with a condensed half hour presentation of the topic at hand, followed by a question and answer session. All episodes will be hosted via Go-To-Webinar, and each episode will be screen-casted and published on exponentcms.org shortly following the episode.
