Socializethat uses Code Igniter

A few months back we were deciding on which framework to use for SocializeThat. The core components have be re-written 5 times with different frameworks until we got to a conclusion of using a very light-weight PHP framework called Code igniter. What is code igniter???

"Code Igniter is an Open Source Web Application Framework
that makes writing kick-ass PHP programs simple as apple pie"

And that's exactly what it is....and its very easy to learn. The advantage of this framework is the ability to write any web application thats reliable and fast without loading modules that are not required. You can create an ordinary website without using a M of the MVC (which is the Model - responsible for backend processing).

Another biggest advantage to this framework is with the setup. There are no configuration files, all you have to do is download it and place it in your root folder.

We will be exploring more this...
