11 sections • 45 lectures • 7h 4m total length

Explaining MVC5:36
Learn how the MVC pattern works within a few minutes with a diagram and code samples.
Installing Code Igniter3:28
We will install Code Igniter, it's literally drag and drop into your PHP Directory. Note: This series assumes you know how to run PHP files in the directory you are using.
Setup NetBeans IDE (Optional)2:55
A brief run-through of my favorite IDE Netbeans, its up to you if you want to use this IDE. Otherwise use your favorite one.
.htaccess Pretty URL's & Development Modes4:00
We will use mod_rewrite so we have nice URLs.
MVC Quiz

Front-End Setup: CSS, JS, Includes (jQuery & Twitter Bootstrap)7:21
Here we download the necessary files and organize our content. We then setup some default include files to use later.
Home Controller5:21
We will now create our first controller!
Home View5:58
We will create our first view and we begin with the Home view which is attached to the controller.
Dashboard Controller2:40
Next we prepare our dashboard controller, similar to the Home controller but with an extra method.
Dashboard View5:10
We'll differentiate the Dashboard page with some bootstrap elements and prepare a wireframe for content further along the road.
Chapter 2 Quiz

Creating a Database with Heidi SQL (Optional)8:52
We'll create the Schema in Heidi SQL. If you are on a Mac you can use SequelPro or a similar alternative.
Using The Database Class & Active Record12:28
Walk through setting up the database configuration, using Active Record to make queries while referencing the Docs.
Create a User Model17:48
We'll go through the stages of creating a User model that we'll use later.
Using the Profiler to Debug1:41
This is a helpful little tool you will want to know about in the future!

Session Class10:30
Learn the difference between PHP $_SESSION and Code Igniters Sessions. This is optional, but I suggest using it unless you must pass large amounts of data through a session.
Post Class & jQuery AJAX14:30
We are going to make the login work with a series of things: The Input Class (Optional), The Session Class, Adjusting the User Model, and adding a fake database user.
Encryption vs Hashing6:53
Know the difference between Encryption and Hashing. We'll use what we've learned for securing our user passwords.
Chapter Quiz

Setup Registration Area17:04
Create the view and controller logic for registering a user! We almost finish it in one swoop, but we will in the Extending video!
Using & Extending the Form Validator13:48
You'll learn how to extend a CI Core Library and make use of it instantly! We'll be using it for getting an array of errors to use with our JSON output.
Security Notes0:55
Security is important, here are some things to remember.

Create an API Controller & Prepare For New Methods!11:00
Here we build an API controller with reasons related to an AJAX application. We then do a little code refactoring and lines of demarcation! Please also download the dashboard_view.php below.
Creating a Solid Javascript Structure11:54
We create a solid JavaScript hierarchy for our Dashboard. We do separated code logic in JavaScript so it would be easy to add future components if you wish.
Create the JavaScript Dashboard File9:49
We make our database list out our todo items. We also make sure creating a todo immediately adds it to the DOM, so there is a little refactoring happening as well.

Javascript Create Ability8:42
We build the API controller to make an AJAX call to create a record.
Improving our JS Result9:41
We give our JavaScript Result class more usability.
Loading From Database13:57
We make our database list out our todo items. We also make sure creating a todo immediately adds it to the DOM, so there is a little refactoring happening as well.
JavaScript Delete Ability & Debugging14:18
We add the delete ability whilst debugging some of our code.
JavaScript Update Note Completion and Undo22:25
We implement edit on existing notes and cancelling them.

Adding GET ability15:27

We are going to Abstract the Active-Record and build out a re-usable CRUD model and begin with the GET ability. This will make queries and models a lot more convenient.
Adding INSERT and DELETE Ability7:29
Add the INSERT ability to the CRUD model in a very simple manner.
Adding UPDATE Ability13:17
The CRUD model needs an UPDATE ability, this is the hardest part.
Refactoring our API Code with the CRUD Model8:23
We'll clean up our Code and you can download the final results.

PHP and JS to List and Create!10:25
Following our pattern with the TODO items, we'll now do it with NOTE's. We'll use the same API controller and set everything up to list our notes out.
Preparing the Note Update: PHP and JS Templating/Event14:23
We want a form to edit existing notes, so we modify quite a bit of JavaScript to and build a template for this.
Saving the Note Updates: PT 114:23
This is a very difficult portion of the JavaScript. It's split into two parts. If you have a lot of trouble following along, you can download the Additional Content right after "Note Updates PT 2" which contains the whole project file if you'd like to check your code.
Saving the Note Updates: PT 210:51
Here we wrap up the saving of notes. The two update parts were difficult so I've included a ZIP file if you cannot get yours working.
Deleting Notes2:44
We'll easily add the ability to DELETE notes via ajax.
Making the Create Forms Display Dynamically14:53
When we insert our records we never want to refresh the page, so we add this in. We also toss in an AJAX loader so it looks busy.
Code Cleanup & Current Project Files4:20
Here we clean up some of our DOM code and tidy it all up. You can download the entire project progress in the following ZIP file.

Bootstrapping the Login/Register Forms13:09
Learn what Scaffolding is, it's quite simple. We'll decorate our forms to look a lot nicer.
Bootstrapping the Todo: PT 111:04
This entire time the TODO has look ugly, so we'll be using some custom CSS to make it look nice.
Bootstrapping the Todo: PT 2 (Revised)14:08
We are now ready to finish off the TODO styling so people might actually use it! (Revised): I had to manually add the audio at 10 minutes as my mic gave out.
Bootstrapping the Notes8:03
We style the Notes area and start to polish off the project.
Fixing Display Bugs8:46
What's software without bugs? They are bound to happen. I address a few display issues and we'll fix them up!

Closing remarks regarding this project and a few tidbits that may be handy!

Description

Learn Codeigniter - the most popular PHP Framework! In this course you will build a complete application in the CodeIgniter Framework from the ground up. You'll learn how the MVC pattern works as I take you step-by-step through everything needed get fluent in CodeIgniter.

Some features in our application will be a personalized dashboard for any user who registers and logs in. We'll have AJAX publishing for all of our Todo Lists and Note's.

We will be diving deep into JavaScript using jQuery to organize a custom Template and Event structure. Lastly, we'll polish off the dashboard with Twitter Bootstrap.

You'll understand how to expand upon these features when we are complete.

This course will take you to an Intermediate PHP programmer with some intermediary skills in JavaScript.
