Hello everyone,
I have been busy creating a project using CI. Each day I learn more from the User Guide, this forum, and other sites.
But some time ago I read a thread somewhere, cant remember where, by a poster who felt that using a PHP framework is considered cheating "in a formal workplace". He felt that using a framework (he never mentioned any in paticular) prevents a person from learning pure PHP. I have never been employed as a PHP programmer so I really do not know how to react to that statement.
But, just now I realized that what was bothering me about that thread is that nobody responded against what he had said. And there were many PHP programmers there.
I really want to be very good at PHP.
Do you recommend that I "first" learn to program fully in straight PHP -- or do you feel that learning PHP and using a framework (such as CI) is appropriate and that potential clients will not mind, or care how it was written (as long as PHP was used).
Personally, I already made up my mind to master CI ... no matter what.
I just did and sold a very simple project, and the client never asked how I wrote it.
But what if a client wants his project written in PHP in case someone else takes over in the future? Would using a framework then be acceptable? Should a client" first" be asked for authorization for a framework to be used?
I really would appreciate your feedback on this matter.
Thanks
