Where’s the best place to start? (NEW USER HELP)

[eluser]coolcourt[/eluser]
Hello forum, I was looking around through the site and I was looking for some ideas on where to start with my Ci installation.

Right now I have Ci & a Postgre DB

My Q is, whats the best DB to use Mysql , etc

And also are there any templates for creating applications?

Like where can I find the best demo or source code to play with?

Any help will do and if there is anyway that I can help I am willing.

Thanks forum

Court

Hey Court,

The first place to start is with the video tutorials.
Then take a long, hard look at the user guide.

After that I would go through the wiki, specifically some of the tutorials and applications. I particularly like Bamboo and Inktype as they are both very mature projects.

As for databases, CodeIgniter has drivers for mysql, sqlite, postgre, mssql, mysqli, odbc, and oci8. Take your pick . I personally use mysql most of the time, with the occassional sqlite for small apps.

Welcome to Codeigniter.

thanks guys, i used postgre for my db but i might do another with mysql. Imma look at those links you guys sent me, i used the user guide to get the Ci set up. I even went to slideshare and printed out a few slideshows to look at on my lunch breaks and stuff. Thanks

Good morning, So far I have set up a base Ci, Then I set up a Inktype, Now I have set up a Kohana, im slowly settling down into the files but I have been trying to figure out a plan to build a nicely structured website with auto loading JS, I dont know if I can have multiple JS frameworks or if I should stick to one.

I'll also check out those new links also.

thank you
