CodeIgniter book

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi all,
I'm not a coder, I try to stick to front-end & EE development. However, this year I'd like to get to grips with PHP & CI.

I've thought about getting a CI book but not sure what would suit me as a newbie.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Steven

How about this

Get a book on PHP and Mysql first. CI is build on PHP so it seems only logical to first get a basic understanding of PHP before jumping into CI.

Then again, both can be done at the same time but remember that coding in CI is 'easier' then just plain old PHP.

I would get a decent PHP/SQL book and go from there. A few articles on MVC would be a good idea too.
As for a CI book, the documentation and tutorials normally would be enough, but if you got caps to spare...

thanks guys - I got some Lynda.com PHP/MySql training for Christmas so I'm hoping that will be enough for a solid intro to php/mysql.

I'll see how I go with the docs/tutorials before spending my hard earned.

thanks.
