Fernando Uchiyama	Monday 10 March 2008 7:02:08 am Hi all. I'm a newcomer to the Exponential world and in the next days will be moving an existing website to the Exponential CMS. We'll migrate the database and also the website design and multimedia files. Is there any good places where I can find information about how Exponential handles the design interface (e.g how to make templates) and how the database is structured (e.g. Exponential database diagram)? Thanks a lot.

Fernando Uchiyama	Tuesday 11 March 2008 6:36:46 am Felix, thank you for the references. I've watched the guided tours and it really gave me a good introduction of how the template system works in Exponential. I liked the idea of classes to represent contents and also liked the templates that can be overrided. I will concentrate now on the technical manual to go deeper on the subject.
