The books I can find for CI are 1 and 2 years old:

CodeIgniter for Rapid PHP Application Development

Professional CodeIgniter

Is that OK for current CI AND/OR do they have companion websites with updates?

Thanks

Open source and traditional book publishing do not go hand-in-hand, unfortunately. I think it could still be useful for pragmatic advice, but specific code examples might require some tweaking

I’ve found the Professional CodeIgniter book helpful.  It has some code errors, but overall it’s a solid introduction to CI, and I’ve continued to use it as a reference, along with the online manual, in building my first CI app.  It uses CI 1.6.0, but most of the examples should work without any changes, save the upload functionality he builds in the book, which I never could get to work correctly.

I think most people have trouble with structuring their application more than anything (embedding views, doing things “globally” etc.) I don’t think the CI APIs are that difficult for most users, especially with the great User Guide
