Rapid Application Development with CodeIgnitor and JQuery

I’ve been playing around with CodeIgnitor this past week.  It’s a pretty slick MVC framework for PHP.  I’m seriously thinking of retiring my custom framework for this purely for the sake of rapid development.

Who can make money in web development if you spend so much time writing supporting code for your projects?  The folks at CodeIgnitor have already done most of the heavy lifting for you.

If I combine CodeIgnitor PHP framework with the JQuery javascript library, I can pump out some pretty impressive, functional sites in short order.

I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a web-based controller for a Bit Torrent engine to replace Torrentflux.  This might be the perfect testing ground for these two technologies.
