So far, this book has taken a step-by-step approach to implementing the most popular modules in ExpressionEngine. In this chapter, you will not be building content for Ed & Eg's website, but rather looking at what else goes into maintaining an ExpressionEngine website.
First, you will learn about essential maintenance tasks such as backups, restores, and upgrades. You will then be introduced to many of the most highly-rated add-ons that are available for ExpressionEngine before finally getting an overview of ExpressionEngine's spam controls, as well as ways to fine-tune ExpressionEngine.
After completing this chapter (and the book), you will feel confident creating and maintaining an ExpressionEngine-powered website.
