PHP CodeIgniter - Learn CodeIgniter

Jesse Boyer is a really fantastic teacher. the content was explained very clearly. The overall course was really interesting. I'm very inspired by codeigniter and especially JavaScript structuring. I learned so much, thank you!!

Really excellent introduction to Codeignitor, well explained and great course outline. Loved the use of jQuery on the front end to interact with the data from the database.

This course is outdated. The instructer doesn't reply to emails, and begins with a lot of complicated apache settings that should be left to the end. I only got 25% through before getting errors that couldn't be resolved and having no success contacting the instructor. I gave up and began Edwin Diaz's codeIgniter class which used current versions of the framework and starts at the bottom and works up. It was much easier to follow and I had no problem completing it successfully.

I enjoyed the course, but little bit disappointed by the course length. Should have explained little bit more about the other corners of CodeIgniter like creating custom 404 Page etc.

Informative, however tutor makes quite alot of mistakes, which can be confusing, there are also parts missing around lession 20-22 not sure where, refactoring of code has little explaination of what he is doing or even which functions, he scrolls from one to another, and things break quickly, spent ours going back and forth through the vids to try to copy where i may have missed bits, captions on the video of which functions/methods he is editing would have helped and to slow down a bit, or at least pause so students can check make sure they have followed the code properly. havent finsihed yet, but am learning, but i can see the course taking longer as i have to keep rewinding vids, and pausing to make sure i have copied correcly as he moves so fast. final note: some of the code doesnt work right with the new Jquery, bootstrap and codigniter 3, the lesson title needs to show this or at least require the users to use the versions that this applicable to.

Jesse made learning Codeigniter enjoyable. I'm a very visual learner and he got right to it. I've tried other courses and books, but they spent most of the time describing theory and using crazy analogies. Jesse's approach to teaching by building complete real life working a app made it learning fun. My only wish was it was updated to the latest version of Codeignitor

Overall, I really enjoyed this course to get a deeper understanding of CodeIgniter, especially understanding more the user/session part. The course is really nice and also gives a good introduction into Ajax and Javascript on-the-fly. You have to pause a lot in between to sync your code with the lecture but I prefer this over having a slow speaker. Though, some small drawbacks: there was a lesson, where suddenly code appeared from nowhere (was included in a download file of previous lesson but not mentioned) and with current bootstrap version (3+) some things changed but all-in-all nothing which could not be solved. Overall: great start to get deeper into CodeIgniter!

This course isn't a comprehensive covering and a lot of updates have been made to both NetBeans and CodeIgniter since the course was created. I wouldn't recommend it for a novice or anyone with only a few hours of programming under their belt. I'd request a refund if it wasn't past the 30 day mark. Unfortunately though, I didn't start it immediately after my purchase.

You could explain the concepts better. I just wanted to know big picture of twitter bootstrap for example, but you kept on typing and at the end - I didn't grasp any concepts.

Great overall introduction to CodeIgniter, MVC, and JavaScript/jQuery. Best if you had some programming experience before jumping into this course. I wish it would go more into depth into CodeIgniter for students coming from an MVC background, including a better way to extend the CI classes, developing a module system, and templating. There are inconsistencies with how code is written as examples, where we should be learning "best practice" - this has its pros and cons with the course. For example, there are errors and bugs with the code as he writes and demonstrates it to students; however, you find yourself yelling at your monitor, Dora the Explorer style, what he's missing or where the typo is at. I can say I was never disengaged from the material. Overall, a great starting point for jumping into CI.

Author types super fast. Good overview of PHP CodeIgniter with jQuery and Bootstrap. A lot more Javascript than PHP it seemed. I think it would be helpful to talk about when to use constructors vs methods and the pros and cons of using ajax/javascript to create your views vs ajax and php popup. I seem many apps that use popups to load the view instead of in-line editing.

I really enjoyed learning from his website @ http://jream.com/ and look forward to learning more from him. thank you for sharing your knowledge :)

Still nice cours, and as a non english I understand perfectly anything. Here's what i made right after I finished this cours : http://www.netslum.fr

I really like it ! It makes things easier and much faster ! Jesse explains very very good ! I really enjoyed listening without being an english speaking native. Good job !

Jesse does a great job of bringing you through the Code Igniter framework while simultaneously providing real world experience by developing a simple application with you. I learn by example and have wanted to engage Code Igniter for some time and after this course feel I can begin to tackle and implement it into my own projects.
