Hello everyone. I'm new in Codeigniter... :) question please...

I don't think it is as good as the user guide. It's almost like a user guide that someone has tried to convert into a tutorial. If I recall correctly, it's bloated with a lot of theory, and general PHP stuff that's nothing to do with CodeIgniter. Personally, I like books that get down to the point and show lots of working examples. I think that less than 5% of the book is code, but then again, I'd communicate in PHP if I could.

I think that during the course of the book, you build several different applications. The book goes into detail about the "most" of CodeIgniter's features, but not all of them, also the book is about 2 years old. CodeIgniter isn't much older than that and it's changed quite a bit (even though a lot of what's in the book sill holds true).

Anyhow, just giving my two cents. I don't want to put you off buying it if you find it helpful, but for me it's one of those books didn't think offered very good value for money. A good book is truly priceless.
