Wow, I think you are doing a great job with those tutorials. The pages are attractive, and your writing is detailed and clear. I noticed you used six blog posts to walk people through installing Codeigniter. That's a lot of detail that should answer any possible question someone might have. I understand this must be a big investment of time for you, so I hope you get enough readers to encourage you to continue and make it worthwhile.
I would like to point something out, however. I notice that the seventh blog post talks about Composer and then the next blog post is about extending CI_Controller with MY_Controller, and the blog post after that is about making your first library. Those are very good posts, but after the slow introduction of the first six, they seem very fast and advanced. I think the beginner developer that needs six posts to install Codeigniter is going to be suddenly lost.
Consider putting some posts between #6 and #7 explaining a little about MVC and how Codeigniter works. Perhaps there could be a simple application around post #9, for example, how to build a simple five-page website for a small business (home, services, testimonials, contact us, about us), and after that, something a little more advanced , maybe something with CRUD, like a personal address book.
That's my only suggestion. Imagine the kind of reader that you want -- beginner, intermediate, or advanced? -- and then write for that reader. About the material itself, it is very good, and you deserve congratulations!
