Developing responsive websites with complete content control and
scalability using CodeIgniter.
CodeIgniter is loosely based on the popular model–view–controller
(MVC) development pattern. While controller classes are a necessary part of
development under CodeIgniter, models and views are optional. CodeIgniter can
be also modified to use the Hierarchical Model View Controller (HMVC) which allows
the developers to maintain modular grouping of Controller, Models, and View
arranged in a sub-directory format.
CodeIgniter is most often noted for its speed when compared to other
PHP frameworks. In a critical take on PHP frameworks in general, PHP creator
Rasmus Lerdorf spoke at frOSCon in August 2008, noting that he liked
CodeIgniter "because it is faster, lighter and the least like a framework.
