BIGGEST CodeIgniter Course in UDEMY!
Hands on Real Life Project inside!
Do you want to really master PHP dynamic applications and website development?
Then this course will speed up the process by allowing you to learn how to use the most popular PHP framework in the planet, "CodeIgniter".
Coding in PHP or any other language can be time consuming, especially for common tasks. Using a framework is the best way to apply common tasks, like:
- Security
- Form validation
- Database configurations
- Database queries (CRUD)
If you want to be a head of the competition and get paid more, then using a FRAMEWORK is the way to do.
High paying jobs require knowledge of frameworks, since speed and accuracy are crucial for the development team and company.
Having knowledge of using frameworks will allow you to find a hight paying job, or find a job easier than not having the skill at all.
My Personal Experience
My first job interview required a codeigniter knowledge and because I did not have the skill, I did not get the job even though I knew how to code in PHP.
That jobs started at 75K per year in the US and that could've propelled big time in my career, it wasn't until after I acquired this skill that jobs were pouring in from everywhere.
I created this course with the intention to provide you with the knowledge you need to use codeigniter to develop applications fast and efficiently. I also create this course to help you provide a great skill that will propel you in your web development career.
Why Codeigniter?
Because is the most popular PHP framework and is on demand for jobs and freelance projects.

I took this course following on from a procedural PHP course, as I needed to learn CodeIgniter for a new job. I am quite new to coding, and some of the concepts can be difficult to grasp, but Edwin is quite good at explaining things. He's always very quick to respond to queries if your stuck and the QA section is a really good resource, as others have probably come across the same issues in the past. Overall, this is a very good course that I would highly recommend for anyone wishing to learn the fundamentals of CodeIgniter. Money well spent.

I purchased this course in 2018 and after completing and coding along with a few sections, I took a break to practice what I learned. As I progressed, I kept watching the new lectures to help me strengthen my newly learned framework application. There are enough examples to cover all the CRUD functions, applying layouts, and sessions. Edwin explains what he is doing, why, and what it all means. Definitely worth the value!
By Hector Cordova on 3/14/2018
This is a great course. The videos are mostly short, the instructor is clear and even motivating and the lessons go by in good pace. I believe, however, more in-depth explanations about models and controller in CodeIgniter could make the course even better, other than that it´s excellent. You won´t be disappointed.
By Devansh Bawari on 1/5/2018
Yeah! It was a nice course but too much mistakes he made in every lecture. I have taken his approx. 5 to 6 courses and all are good. Good Edwin! Keep it up. But please make some course on Restful API also.

I found this course very useful, Instructor has command over topic and he explains things very well and made them simple to understand. and the final project is applicable to real world you can make your website easily after completing this course. If anyone wants to learn codeigniter this course is very much recommended, but remember the advice of instructor before starting the course, i.e set goal for every days like, do X numbers of tutorial everyday. otherwise you might lost your interest and end up leaving project midway.

I wish I knew about this a year ago. It would have saved me almost a year of work. I don't like all those heavy frameworks so I was building my own. This is way better. Edwin basically walk through the creation of a project which was very helpful and provided me a lot of insights. I was able to copy the project code to my server and run it with very minor config changes and start editing it within minutes. Within a day I had already customized it for one of my projects. I have only 2 complaints. 1) he used the alternative style of PHP for web pages even if there was no HTML. Every line of PHP was wrapped in php tags for some reason. Plus he puts lots of blank lines everywhere. Not just double spaced. Lot's of blank lines everywhere. I did a search and replace to remove all blank lines and manually added the ones I thought were appropriate. 2) During his instruction he would switch between files quickly and sometimes without any warning. It was difficult to stay on top of which file he is editing because there were no clear indications of when he switched and what he switched to. I had to pause often and inspect the screen to see the file names. I watched the video at double speed so that was part of the problem but I normally can follow everything at that speed. It would have been very helpful if the video had the current file name posted somewhere prominently. I really enjoyed learning from Edwin. He is a great and passionate instructor and I'll most likely get other courses from him.
I Like very much how the teacher present the information and his method of doing the exercises! Doing things along with the teacher lead to learning a lot of things in short time.
FANTASTIC course! I am thrilled that I chose this course. Thank you, Edwin! Edwin made this course fun and interesting. I am going to take his Bootstrap course next. Thanks man!
