CI or CMSs?

I don't want to get too wishy-washy or sound like I'm lecturing, but you absolutely should think it's hard, because it is hard to do it best. Which is to say, you are only going to get back the effort you put into it. More effort = harder. And learning syntax is only part of learning to program. But again, CI is a great place to start learning because the codebase is well documented and easy to follow.

I guess my overall point with regard to the main topic of this thread is, if you need a CMS, get a CMS, not CI. And my secondary point or advice is, when approaching something new, always approach it as a difficult challenge so that you put your best effort toward it.
