How does CI really works?

It often takes longer to initially code a site in CI, but they are much easier to maintain, and by the time you are on your 4th or 5th site, you will have so many plugins and helpers that you will be able to carry out rapid application development much more easiy.

I don’t really think so - get the basics and you will code your applications faster from the start! This requires PHP/MySQL skills of course!

For me, I believe that coding CI sites takes longer the first time you make a site. Why? Cause making a site in CI and any other MVC frameworks needs a lot of files so you could completely run them including the controllers, models and views. By the way here I'm comparing the way on how you code in CI and the procedural style of coding in PHP. Cause when you do object oriented programming in PHP it also takes longer to build a site cause you need to create your classes. That's my point of view.......

Good day....
