CodeIgniter is the only PHP framework that has the Rasmus Lehrdorf seal of approval, and that guy is from Greenland, so he knows what he is a talking about. In this tutorial session, I’ll take you through the steps to create a web site using PHP and CodeIgniter, a PHP MVC framework that’s so easy you can use it while you drink.
Rules: Every time I demo a new CodeIgniter library, we drink. Every time I say “can you believe how little code that took?” we drink. Every time something works on the first try, we drink. Every time something doesn’t work on the first try, we drink. We’ll make up new rules as we go along just in case we aren’t drinking enough, but ultimately the goal will be to get you familiar with CodeIgniter to create PHP web sites quickly and cleanly. And drink. BYOB.
This talk debuted at Open Source Bridge in Portland in June, 2009.
