Learning OOP through CI

[eluser]Phil Sturgeon[/eluser]
You will have a slight problem in that most PHP coders who learn via CI spend the whole time trying to work out "what is the CI way to do X". If you understand PHP fully you can do whatever you like. If you only know CI you can only use whatever libraries other people have made.

If you can't think of how to do something in CI, just use native PHP to build a library, helper or model and then it will work fine. Then you will be ok!
