nettuts+ buddy....that is a Bible for CI. I was in the same situation as you last December. I could finish my CMS recently but i am havnig some road blocks and some issues which didnt appear when i developed it in my machine. Well to answer your question. Consider your time with CI as a date (just an example alright!!) and know more about it....experiment and you'll get to know more. Sure you'll make mistakes.....u know whats the fun part? you learn from them!
Cheers!
