First impressions of CodeIgniter

These last few weeks I have been trying out CodeIgniter and so far I have been very impressed. For those who do not know, CodeIgniter is an open source PHP framework. It is very easy to set up, works with version 4 and 5 of PHP, uses the MVC approach which separates logic from presentation and has a very good user guide and tutorials. I have built several applications while learning CodeIgniter and it does seem to make coding web projects quicker, easier and fun! If you have not used a framework before but are interested in learning how one works, I think CodeIgniter is an ideal first step. I will keep you updated as to how I progress with it.
