When did you get into Codeigniter?

Hi Everyone,

Decided to put my first post here as an introduction of sorts.

I started seriously learning about programming after high school (end of 2000) & got my MCSD + MCDBA certification, so thats VB 6.0 + MSSQL 2000. Eventually moved away from MS & embraced Open Source in 2006. Not sure way but I enjoyed coding everything (i.e. html, js, php) from scratch using 'plain jane' notepad so I never came across using any 'framework' for any of my projects up until now.

2013, bootstrap was my first framework for html development. Early 2014, CI was highly recommended for php development.

CI being my first MVC framework -- took the time to go through CI's user guide word by word. Once I grasp the MVC concept & completed the user guides tutorial (i.e. "Basic News Application") I really appreciated CI as a php framework & understood the importance of rapid development in real world implementation -- I used to enjoy coding on notepad remember

At the moment my project with CI is a B2B2C eCommerce platform.

With CI now being a project of the BCIT, I have plans to spread & teach CI independently in Malaysia (any Malaysians here? lets connect)

Feeling ecstatic about CI right about now
