Background and Credits

I learnt Codeigniter from a book “Professional Codeigniter” by Mr. Thomas Myer.

I started learning PHP six months ago and read a couple of good books about PHP and I had basic knowledge but not practical experience of PHP.

Professional Codeigniter was delightful to read. I have learnt a lot from the book. I highly recommend the book if you are a beginner like me and want to learn CI in practical ways.

Especially I enjoyed it in three ways.
1. There are some bugs which could not make it for the final edition. But I am glad that it did not make it. Because fixing these taught me more than I expected. I used the book forum, CI forum and Stackoverflow to solve the problems.

2. Reading a book which teachs you how to create one applicatoin, in this case is shopping cart, is the best way for me to learn PHP and CI.

3. While I was reading the book, I wanted to change the application in my way. And this was again good learning for me.

I recommend the book and read through it to understand fully.

I obtained a permission from the author and I’d like to add my version of updated code here.
