Wow,

So I finally decided to dive into a PHP framework today - I orginally planned to use Cake, but I found a CMS I think I like as well (ExpressionEngine) and it runs on CodeIgniter, so I tried it out. And I love it!

I’m a stickler, so to speak, for organization and such - and CodeIgniter does just that. Very fun!

Sad part is - I didn’t learn this before I started writing my first major web application - so I essentially made my own miniature framework which works fine I guess, but it’s not MVC-oriented and it’s basically just a collection of classes. It would’ve been so much easier to have done it with CodeIgniter. ☹
