Unfortunately for me, neither Leonard nor the Expression Engine team offer much insight about that. Everyone seems to have their own way of doing it, and even here at Viget our strategies vary from site to site.
Building Websites with Expression Engine
While it didn't answer my theory-based questions, it offers a good introduction for a true beginner and showed me to quite a few capabilities I hadn't explored. The book takes an exercise-based approach, walking you through the steps you might take to build a full site in EE. The site you will build includes static pages, a blog, a calendar, a members-only area, and a simple store. Topics include installation, the templating system, using weblogs, and working with modules such as members, discussion forums, and simple e-commerce with PayPal.
Book Review: Building Websites With Expression Engine 1.6
Despite the fact that it's written for absolute beginners, I did learn some new things. The in-depth member management information was useful, as was the explanation about how to build a calendar and a simple photo gallery.
I wish it would have gone into more depth about Embeds and URL segments, as this is something incredibly important to understand if you're going to make good use of Expression Engine and it feels like they are glossed over. It could also use a diagram of some sort explaining the relationship between Weblogs, Templates, Template Groups and Field Groups.
In fact, if anyone out there knows of one I'd hang it up over my desk as a reminder!
If you've been using it for a while you probably won't get a ton of new info out of it - still, worth browsing if you can get your hands on it. Wondering if it's for you? Packt Publishing was nice enough to provide a sample chapter for Inspire readers.
