ExpressionEngine Screencasts

Downloadable ExpressionEngine Documentation

Sep 06, 2008

If you're like me, you often work offline—on an airplane or away from wifi— but still want to have access to the EE User Guide, in case you need to refer to it for that one parameter you can't remember or that elusive EE tag. The ExpressionEngine User Guide you're used to using is hosted on the EE website, but did you know there's a downloadable version, too?

I honestly do not know how long it has been available, but I didn't notice it until the other day after I tweeted, asking people how they view the documentation while offline. I feel silly for not realizing it earlier (I had been using an outdated PDF someone posted to the EE Wiki) but if you go to the Downloads area of the ExpressionEngine website, lo and behold, they offer a complete version of the EE documentation for your downloading pleasure.
