CodeIgniter - Open source PHP web application framework

Fucking amazing user guide, made me cum buckets.

Welcome to CodeIgniter : CodeIgniter User Guide

Tutorials:

Wiki | CodeIgniter

I don't know man. I worry about whether or not it's a decent product since the tutorial videos are so out of date/so few. It seems like they don't care. It's a pretty popular framework; it just kind of puts me on edge.

Seems useful. Alex said he uses Yii framework rather than cakephp and this.

Never heard of it, but I'll take a look at it.

If you know basic OOP you'll pick it up easily with that. And you don't need to read the whole thing. What I did was check if they had specific helpers/libs when the time came that I needed that specific one.

For example, I learned the basics..how MVC worked, then got started on a test website, I needed to use Pagination so I went to the user_guide and looked to see if a pagination helper/lib existed. It did and I read the tutorial/examples on how to use it and after a while I didn't need the guide anymore to build websites.

But i don't even know what OOP is

What exactly is suggested to start HTML and Webbuilding ?

This isn't HTML, this is PHP real programming..If you're looking to just start web development you need to go learn HTML and CSS first.

HTML Tutorial

here's the order I'd suggest.

HTML|HTML5
CSS| CSS3
Javascript
Javascript lib (Jquery, protoype, etc) (Pick one I'd suggest Jquery)
PHP
Mysql
OOPHP
Templating engine (Smarty?)
Framework (Ci, Zend, CakePHP etc..)

OOP is object oriented programming. A few google searches and you will learn a ton.

@HTML -- I actually learn the other way around. PHP to HTML, made more sense to me to start with something I could do easy, programming. Then move to the making stuff look good with a mix of CSS and HTML.

Wow Matt you go the other way round than everyone ;P . Original Coder .
@HTML thanks , i saved it so when i started I would be able to have a good reference .
Do you guys think books work ? I got one about HTML and XHTML and Maybe CSS .
I don't know if maybe the internet provides better help
