Screencasts
Upgrading ExpressionEngine 2
by Ryan Irelan
Don't take a chance when upgrading to a new build or version of ExpressionEngine. Watch this free 16 minute video and follow along for best practices and documentation of the official upgrade steps.
The video covers three different parts of upgrading: Prepare, Update and Test. We talk about backing up your database and files, uploading a new version of EE2 and testing to make sure your site is working properly.
We took the official documentation for updating ExpressionEngine and turned it into an easily digestible video that you can always refer back to when it’s time to upgrade. There’s no better way to learn than by watching.

Even after working with ExpressionEngine for some time, I still refer to [the screencasts] over documentation. Ryan’s screencasts are informative, practical and smart.
