I
purchased this book because it was just afresh appear and I ample it
would accept the a lot of up to date advice on the accepted adaptation
as able-bodied as accept accepted insights into the best practices for
application the framework. By the end of affiliate two, I was baffled.
The autograph appearance was unusual, superficial, and there were
absolutely a few typos. At aboriginal I anticipation it was just a bad
editor, but again I "Googled" the author. To my surprise, he's alone 17
years old. The book states that he's had 5 years of acquaintance
programming in PHP. I'm not aggravating to beating this adolescent
author, afterwards all, I wasn't programming PHP at age 12. But what was
PACKT cerebration publishing a programming advertence book accounting
by a 17 year old? Once the age affair came out, the autograph fabricated
a lot added sense. The book supposes that the clairvoyant is abreast in
PHP and HTML. While some of the added complicated Codeigniter functions
are glossed over with one book paragraphs, there's a accomplished page
answer what a carbon archetype and a dark carbon archetype are in an
email. This is alone one of abounding examples that fabricated me
catechism the adequacy of the absolute getting presented. The book even
mimics the Codeigniter appearance adviser in the "correct," "incorrect,"
appearance of autograph as able-bodied as the adjustment in which the
techniques are presented. There is annihilation in this book that you
can't acquisition in the user adviser or the abounding tutorials online.
I feel like I was bamboozled by PACKT publishing and I'll absolutely do
added absolute accomplishments checks afore any added purchases from
them. A acknowledgment is in my future... As for the Author, I
absolutely acclaim you. I absolutely wasn't cerebration about autograph
books at that age, but unfortunately, I anticipate you were let down by
your editors who should accept provided a bit added advice like "get
some absolute activity programming experience, again we'll publish." For
anybody else, I advance you absorb some time in the built-in
Codeigniter user guide.
I'm an accomplished PHP
developer, acquisitive to apprentice a new framework. I purchased this
book from Packt acquisitive that it would be agnate to their Joomla
books, which yield you through creating several circuitous sample
applications, affiliate by affiliate architecture on your new knowledge.
I was absolute aghast to acquisition this was not the case. Perhaps, as
some reviewers state, the agreeable gets bigger in the after chapters,
but the antecedent capacity were so disjointed, poorly-written, and even
added poorly-edited, that I couldn't administer to get through to the
after chapters.
There are bags of incorrectly-placed references in the text; for
example, in discussing the Input and Security class, the columnist
states that, "we've already acclimated this chic if we congenital our
acquaintance form", but the absolute architecture of the acquaintance
anatomy doesn't appear for addition 8 pages or so. There are aswell
chunks of cipher shown, but no advice about area those chunks are
declared to go - in the model, view, or controller. If the columnist had
just skipped putting any cipher at all in the argument and adumbrated
that all sample cipher for a accurate "lesson" is included in the sample
cipher download, things ability accept been clearer, but there was no
acknowledgment of that.
All in all, a decay of money.
