Hello from AR, USA |
Hello everyone.
I'm new to CodeIgniter, I've been learning php for about 3 years now, and programming for 4. I tried a couple of other php frameworks in the past, but I gave up quickly. I decided to try again a couple of weeks ago with CI, and I have been enjoying learning it. To be fair to the other frameworks, my coding skills were not very good at the time; but CI seems to have a better learning curve, and the documentation has been extremely helpful. I can't believe I've been missing all these features of a framework! I spent countless hours writing regular expressions and other things to validate and sanitize data. Building query strings, repetitive MySQL queries and coding "inline" I would often get confused on where to put things (Which file contains the class I need??). I'm hoping CI can save me some time now that my projects have grown so much. I have a website I've been building/maintaining for years, and I'm switching the project over to CI and MVC. I originally thought about salvaging some of the code, but I think I will just rewrite 90% of everything, although my layout and design will not change. Have any of you had to move a large project to a framework, or from one framework to another? I kind of went into panic mode at first but I think "I got this" now haha. I hope that one day I can contribute to the CI project somehow. Also very glad to see this forum has some real human interaction, a lot of tech forums do not. Cheers everyone! |
