Hey Now it is a time for CI Team to prepare and write a CI 4+ Tutorial Book

That's very similar to a personal project I had started in the past. No official forums, all of the organization happened via tags.That does require other things to make it usable though, like Rooms if you want to be able to make a "forum" restricted (like for admin discussion, etc), and a very good search engine. The challenge becomes finding stuff within the thousands of posts, so you still need to be able to browse the content in some form of organized fashion, but handling it like Flarum does where you can see a hierarchal list of tags and filter by the tags handles that pretty well.

If this is something we're seriously interested in doing, we should take the discussion off of this thread at the least. Maybe plan it over at the repo's discussions?

That's fine by me.

I bought LonnieEzell's CodeIgniter 4 Foundations a while ago but I haven't actually read very much of it. I use to buy and read  programing books a lot. But nowadays I've stopped doing that. I haven't read a programming book in several years. I find it sufficient to simply search the internet. I also use Devsense and Codeium with VSCode which helps.

Hi CI team and CI4 funs and to whom it may concern:

This is my opinion regarding CI framework, first I would like to confirm that at earlier time it was really difficult to understanding deeply CI4 plus, it necessitated me to take a 6 months just reading CI4 user guide only until i got everything clear, I also recommend for newbies here that they should stick at firstly reading its user guide before working on it,It is really simple and funny, What is my point here ,

I am developer and CI4 has become my main source PHP framework I used other framework at first like Laravel,Cakephp,Slim and even symphony but since i encountered with CI4+ I acknowledge that it has become my main PHP framework from and so on...

Why I wanna let developers to understand this,  CI4+ gives a huge freedom on developing any app since gives you a choice to fun your own library or module in easy step and rapidly. I can do also book for but i am heart painful since CI Team have been suffered in contributing and they deserve to yearn sm small amount of pennies from CI framework and not only that I think it will let many get deeply and courageously study a CI4+ fr book.

I think writing a tutorial book for CodeIgniter 4 is a great idea! CodeIgniter is a popular PHP framework that is known for its simplicity and ease of use, making it a great choice for web developers.

Here's a general outline and some tips i have thought to consider when creating CI4+ tutorial book:

1. Introduction
    Briefly explain what CodeIgniter 4 is and its advantages.
    Discuss the target audience for a book.

2. Setting Up Environment
    Guide readers through the installation of PHP, Composer, and other necessary tools.
    Explain how to create a new CodeIgniter project using Composer.

3. MVC Architecture

    Show how to perform basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using the framework's database features.

6. Views and Templates
    Explain how to create dynamic views and templates.
    Discuss the use of helpers and libraries for rendering views.

7. Form Handling and Validation

    Explain how to implement caching for improved performance.
    Discuss techniques for optimizing CodeIgniter applications.

13. Debugging and Error Handling
    Guide readers through debugging techniques and tools.
