Nick the geek is regarded as the “go to guy” for anything to do with developing with Genesis.  He’s written a great article about how to use the new hooks and filters in Genesis 2.0

I’ve already referenced the first article of Genesis Explained, but if you have not read it I’d recommend going back and reading it now. Now that you are familiar with the basic concept behind Genesis I’d like to cover the new hooks. I’ll be going back and looking at the framework.php file from Genesis 2.0 later.

Of course one of the major considerations with the release of a new piece of software is the question as whether or when to upgrade.  Some people are amazingly slow at upgrading their sites, and this has it’s own security and operational issues.  But for me it’s the excitement of deploying new features and taking advantage of the latest code enhancements.  WMwebdesign were equally eager, and have written a useful guide to the upgrade process, and upgrading.

WordPress beta versions were released by the bucket load then we had 3.6 Release Candidate and 3.6 Release Candidate 2.0 and then, one moonlit night, the WordPress upgrade notice appeared in dashboards throughout the land and a few days later… Genesis 2.0 was released.
