I'm new to PHP, should I use this software?

learning php through code igniter is like using linux with the visual interface without messing around with the command lines .... Also programing without an algorithmical logic is like copy / paste-ing some stuff without understanding them good.
PS... at an exam u always start with the easy stuff first, then you try the harder stuff... if u begin with the hard stuff u end up wasteing a lot of time and patience.
