[quote author="esra" date="1185056545"]............
Joomla 1.0.x uses OOP approaches but does not use an MVC architecture. Joomla 1.5 beta on the other hand uses a custom MVC framework based on the 1.0.x component/module/plugin models. Intermixing two completely different MVC frameworks seems senseless, since the base libraries for both frameworks are essentially attempting to provide similar if not identical services. If you want to stick with Joomla, you might consider using CI and its documentation as a tool for learning MVC, then migrate to using Joomla 1.5 afterwards. It would be difficult with your current skills to jump right into Joomla 1.5 without completed documentation. However, you might be able to use Joomla 1.5 core modules as sample code for developing your own applications. ..............[/quote]
I will heed your advice not to mix the two frameworks. A little more study before I determine I can build my small project using CI or revert to using Joomla! 1.5. I have skimmed through the CI user guide and it is very well documented. I am simply not confident of building a complete application using CI at this stage. Stand-alone sub-applications is no problem for me as I have been doing this using normal php. I simply need to integrate a user authentication scheme, housekeeping, template/menu and other organizing stuff, which i find Joomla! will provide pre-built. Nevertheless, I believe I will dive into CI to pick into OOP programming.

Yes, I read through and seems Derek has put in some great effort for CI. I will certainly be looking at BambooInvoice.

Thanks for the reply.
