With a major new project in the pipeline I have been on the look out for a PHP framework to speed things along. I am no top coder, but Code Ignitor is working out great so far and my PHP guru seems to be getting on very well with it.
Code Ignitor is the brain child of Rick Ellis, who is also behind the successful and powerful Expression Engine content management system. Having used Expression Engine for a handful of previous high traffic web sites, I decided it was time to take a look at CI and so far I am very impressed. It is not only a very fast development environment, but is very powerful – basic blog system in 20 minutes – no problem!
Not only is it a great framework, but also produces very nice human / search engine friendly URLs by default.
We are looking to build a pretty major site in CI, so I will keep you up to date with how we get on.
