Can you please elaborate on “..There is no need to hack 10 plugins of different qualities together to get what I need (like in Drupal), and that just makes developing fun as it should be.”

I am planning on building a Rich Application for my client using Code Igniter, JQuery, CSS and Javascript. Just wanted to rule out Drupal before I get started.

Indeed. CodeIgniter is fantastic. I’m in the process of converting ALL of my online ventures (such as http://linkbun.ch, http://lin.cr, etc.) to run on CI. I’ve never been so excited to rewrite code in my life! 🙂

Hi Andreas!

I understand Your choice! The absolut excellent CodeIgniter User-Guide, a fast deployment and also php4 compatibility were the things which moved me to use CI in my projects.

I didnt do a scientific comparison between CodeIgniter an CakePHP, and to be honest I dont remember exactly what was the deciding factor in me going with one over the other. Probably I found the CodeIgniter user guide and examples easier to get started with, and since I liked what I found I havent really had time to go back and check out CakePHP in more detail.

The advantages you mention for CodeIgniter also apply to CakePHP, but you still mentioned you chose Code over Cake. Why?

It seems like Rick has the right idea, bad documentation has caused me more than it’s share of greif when I have used other frameworks. But with CodeIgniter I can be confident that all is well documented, and for me that makes all the difference. Great work!

I have corrected the spelling on your name, my apologies.

Welcome aboard! We’re thrilled to have you Andreas. It may interest you to know that Rick (the “Ellis” in “EllisLab”) considers it part of our job to write documentation. I’m not allowed to release anything unless its fully documented – so everything is documented by the development team, not a community wiki, not documentation writers, but by people who built and use it every day. 😉

Oh, Allard not Allerd 😉
