Code Igniter: Ruby on Rails for PHP

Hat tip to Jerry Carter and Mark Barton for this excellent find; CodeIgniter MVC application framework for PHP. If you do any PHP development, or would like to see an excellent Model-View-Controller (MVC) tutorial, you owe it to yourself to give this tool a look-see.

First and foremost, CodeIgniter is a pretty kick-ass framework tool that makes PHP as easy as Ruby On Rails. But the best part is that the folks who wrote this open-source tool also created some incredibly useful Quicktime videos to show how it works. These videos not only show how powerful CodeIgniter is, but are an excellent tutorial for those who may not completely grasp the MVC architecture of application design.

edit: This comes at a good time for me as I am putting together a Scriptaculous Workflow Designer soon and I was not looking forward to creating the PHP, Domino, and .NET demos, but we will see if this makes the PHP demo a bit easier.

    Thanks for the link. Yeah, I was blown away by the videos. Great material there. Maybe someday I’ll actually get to use it. :-)
