If you're a PHP developer, you can build Rails-like applications without learning a new language by following the hands-on tutorials in "Professional CodeIgniter." In this book, find an overview of MVC and agile technologies, model and schema for products, helpers and libraries, Ajax and Scriptaculous, and explanations of the creation of applications like content management, blogs, and forums. Follow the step-by-step instructions for building and perfecting each application with CodeIgniter, and you will learn how to avoid everyday problems that other reference manuals don't address.
Great book for learning CodeIgniter with an understanding of PHP and MySQL. Very easy read. Offers a great deal of insight for how to approach working with clients using the Agile development methodology SCRUM.
A good read to get to know CodeIgniter. Liked the style of presenting the information - many practical advice and thoughts from client's point of view. On the other hand, didn't understand some parts of the book: - The whole chapter (!) is related to Agile - wait what? - There were intentionally some mistakes made which later were corrected by the author, like "and now we will do it the right way". - Lack of consistency at some points
