Is CodeIgniter 4 Easy To Learn?
So let’s look at the situation for a different angle. Like any other framework, CodeIgniter is a tool for a developer-first of all. A developer evaluates the framework in several ways:
-ease of entering the development using this this tool (easy to learn and start);
-framework range of options;
-performance of framework;
-the flexibility that a framework provides developers.
If with the first three paragraphs is not in doubt but the last one is not always a plus for the developer because the more flexibility they have the less a framework controls developer in the automatic mode. The less automatic control we have the higher the risk:
-to make a mechanical error in the development;
-take liberties and cheat.
In the first case, it hurts the speed of project development, much time will be spent from the moment the error was made until it will be found.
In the other case, it negatively affects project maintenance, especially it is a complex one where involved a team of developers. You will have a readable and supporting code as long a structure of the project and its base architecture is monitored through processes which developers should follow.
If we go back to talking about CodeIgniter then we should say that it is attracted to its characteristics for many early developers:
-simple to learn;
-good range of options (except the availability of in-built template);
-pretty well performance;
-sufficient flexibility for a developer.
