Controller Suffix

Thanks, and you are right, I have never worked in a larger team. I can also see now the benefits of freeing up controllers from url's and having a map of the entire application.

Thanks again,

Paul.

No problem. 

One great thing for you to do as practice is build a basic 'blog' or 'todo list' in other languages and/or frameworks. I would focus on frameworks that are highly opinionated. It will give you a perspective of how other people are doing things and how you can maybe implement some of those things into your application. That was the greatest learning experience for myself.

Codeigniter is simply one of the tools you need to learn to be a successful developer. Always add more tools to your coding arsenal!
