Code Igniter evangelism

After my “discussion” with devkungfoo about PHP MVC frameworks, I decided to re-develop one of our current projects in Code Igniter. The project was about 60% complete, so I thought it might not be a bad idea since I’m anyway not going to have time playing with CI.

It turns out that it is by FAR the best idea I’ve had so far in 2007! I plonked myself in front of my PC over the weekend and started fooling around, reading the docs and testing it. My first thoughts was I’m biteing off more I can chew at such a late stage. Then this morning I plunged into the project to see how far I can get and how long it will take me to get with this project to get up to date (at least till where I am now).

I’m stoked!!! It took me all of a week’s work (thats how long it took me to do the part I’ve done in Code Igniter) in one day. It is amazing. AMAZING!!!

You guys at Code Igniter are the absolute best! PHP Developers, if you are looking to use a MVC framework (and you SHOULD), then stop looking any further and go with Code Igniter.

For the guys at CI, I’m planning to re-develop a pet project of mine later when time allows, and I’ll give back by doing it tutorial style! Maybe I can even persuade devkungfoo to join in. What do you say Dinesh?

  I would defintely be interested, however with the wedding on Saturday - I’ll only be plugged in again first week Feb.

  Not sure how that timing fits into your scheme things.

Spit it out!
