Cleaning Messy Code with Expression Web Queries

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Pad Gallagher, is one of the newest members of the Expression Web team and his first post to the xweb blog is all about cleaning messy code with Expression Web Queries This is a post I am glad to see, and I’ll be keen to note what else Pad is going to come up with. I wrote about Expression Web Queries in my latest tutorial. This is something I go into greater detail with in the Migrating from FrontPage to Expression Web Class and Ebook  Pat Geary and I are writing which will be available August 30th.

If you have come up with a method for cleaning up messy code using Expression Web (or any free third party tool or addon) please let me know.

CSS Sculptor Expression Web Addon

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Fantasic news, Webassist have brought down the price of  Eric Meyer’s CSS Sculptor for Expression Web to the NEW LOW price of $49.99. Which is just the right time to get it, along with registering for our new Migrating from FrontPage to Expression Web Class and Ebook which is half price for this first course session…

It will not be offered at this price again.

Take advantage while you can, even if you can’t make the course fully, you STILL get the ebook too and can always refer back to it. Course members will be able to obtain ebook updates for free for the next year too.
