Course

The course begins with an introduction to CodeIgniter, its history, and its features. Students learn about CodeIgniter's philosophy and principles, including its focus on simplicity, speed, and flexibility.

The course covers the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, which is used by CodeIgniter to organise code and separate concerns. Students learn how to create models, views, and controllers in CodeIgniter and how to use them together to build web applications.

The course covers CodeIgniter libraries, which are pre-written code modules that provide common functionality for web applications. Students learn how to use CodeIgniter libraries to add features like form validation, email sending, and session management to their web applications.

The course covers CodeIgniter helpers, which are collections of functions that provide utility and convenience methods for web applications. Students learn how to use CodeIgniter helpers to perform tasks like URL manipulation, file uploading, and form generation.

The course covers CodeIgniter's database abstraction layer, which allows developers to work with databases using a simple and consistent API. Students learn how to use CodeIgniter's database library to connect to databases, execute queries, and retrieve data.

The course covers CodeIgniter's security features, which are designed to protect web applications from common security threats like cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection. Students learn how to use CodeIgniter security features to secure their web applications.

The course covers CodeIgniter's routing system, which allows developers to map URLs to controllers and methods. Students learn how to use CodeIgniter's routing system to create clean and user-friendly URLs for their web applications.

The course covers CodeIgniter testing, including how to write unit tests for CodeIgniter applications using PHP Unit. Students learn how to use PHPUnit to test CodeIgniter controllers and models for functionality and performance.
