Codeigniter 1.7 Professional Development

Hi,

Recently, new Codeigniter book came out. CodeIgniter 1.7 Professional Development by Adam Griffiths. Packt Publishing asked me to review this book, so once I’ll get it in the mail I review it for you.
Take a look at the TOC of the book, Personally I’m really excited about Chapter 7: Building a Large-Scale Application and Chapter 10: Developing and Releasing Code to the Community , they look very interesting to me.

What you will learn from this book : [From Packt Publishing's Book page]

  • Learn the Model-View-Controller design pattern to structure your code.
  • Create more readable and maintainable queries using the Active Record implementation.
  • Create and maintain database tables using the Database Forge class.
  • Authenticate users using Twitter oAuth and Facebook Connect.
  • Create your own Authentication Library for more control over your user accounts.
  • Secure your application using CodeIgniter’s built-in functionality and some quick tips to help further.
  • Build a RESTful Web Service, opening up your application to third-party developers.
  • Create extended Controllers, grouping functionality into multiple Controllers helping to keep repeated code to a minimum.
  • Learn techniques used by professionals to scale CodeIgniter over multiple servers.
  • Learn top tips for releasing code to the community and giving support to the developers using your code.

Who this book is written for: [From Packt Publishing's Book page]

This book is written for advanced PHP developers with a good working knowledge of Object Oriented Programming techniques who are comfortable with developing applications and wish to use CodeIgniter to make their development easier, quicker, and more fun. Basic knowledge of CodeIgniter will be helpful. This book will suit developers who fall into three categories:

  • Professional Developers – employees of a software house or organization with in-house software development.
  • Freelance Developers – solo developers working in the industry on their own.
  • Just-for-fun Developers – people working with PHP building web applications is their spare time for fun.

Packt Publishing also released an article called “Database Interaction with Codeigniter 1.7” which I want to read and discuss here later this weekend.
