Welcome to the world of CodeIgniter! CodeIgniter is a powerful and flexible MVC framework for PHP, and it will completely revolutionize the way you build applications. Imagine being able to build complete applications in just a matter of days, being able to respond to client needs with speed and power, and being able to maintain your well-organized code weeks, months, and even years afterward. All of this is now within your grasp thanks to CodeIgniter.
Author and CodeIgniter developer Thomas Myer guides you through building a typical web application with CodeIgniter, introducing important topics from the MVC framework and Agile methodologies along the way.
