    Benefits of CI
    Small

    Fast

    Simple

    Customer ready
    a sys admin can install the CI framework in a few minutes
    great documentation means easy hand over: new developers just learn the
    framework not your home grown MVC code

    Great for mash-up apps using multiple platforms
    eg. Facebook apps

    Cleaner code


    Why Frameworks
    No framework
    Framework
    Me and my framework
    Framework
    Platform API
    Me, my framework and
    a Platform API
    MVC



    View (views/frog_count.php)
    <html>
    <body>
    <h1> Youve <?=$froggies;?> items in list</h1>
    </body>
    </html>
    Controller (controllers/my_controller.php)
    function total_frogs () {
    $this->load->model(frogs);
    $number_of_frogs = $this->frogs->count_frogs();
    $data*froggies+ = $number_of_frogs;
    $this->load->view(frog_view, $data);
    }
    Model (models/frogs.php)
    function count_frogs() {
    $this->db->where(type,frog);
    $this->db->from(animals);
    $query = $this->db->get();
    Return $query->num_rows();
    }
