@foojae, Do you realize that you will have to code many of the CMS capabilities that make your life easier? That is why there is a CMS 'Application' that is built with CI called Expression Engine built and supported by EllisLab. If all you are doing is 'Building websites' you may find that you need a CMS or a portal development platform. If you are developing web 'applications' then you need a framework. All these concepts are quite different. It really, _really_ depends on what you intend to _do_.

Once you get beyond that question, yes you'll need to understand the nature of OOP principles and know to construct an SQL SELECT statement with all it's options (and that is a big statement my friend ;-) ).

Best Regards,

Randy
