    Hey guys, I want to first say that I’m happy I could do this series and release it for CI developers of all kinds, from new to seasoned. I’ve used CI for several years and have been meaning to do this series for quite some time. I’ll keep this short but I wanted to say that I’m glad to be releasing this for the community.

    This series has just begun and just launched, please check it out and comment the first episode. http://learn-codeigniter.com

    I hope it helps you get started with CI and look forward to the rest of our beginner series. For the seasoned CI devs we have a advanced series in the works to come out soon after the first series.

    Please check it out and let me know what you think! =)

    Thank you and have a great day!

    Great site.
    Absolutely love it as I love teaching other people how to use CodeIgniter myself.

    I have only one comment for the moment (as this is just a quick read-through for now) and that would be to let the viewer know which version your video is aimed at or working on.
    I noticed that the first video was talking about the current official version, but in the future people will look back and get confused if it’s not mentioned in either the video or the description (particularly when it comes down to the CI file structure).

    I’m small talking now, but I assume you get my point 😊
    If you get a lot more videos online, I’m sure people will notice and remember your site for a very long time!

    Thank you Dennis, this definitely comes from a passion to teach CI to others. I’ve just finally started to put what I’ve been saying for a few years to work. You’ve got a really good point there and I’ll drop that into the description of the current video and make sure to mentioned it from here out. Thanks again and always open to input.

    Your video was 10/10 -

    I’m gonna tweet it & plan to watch every single installment. If the rest of the installments are as professionally made, thorough, clear and well presented, then this will be the best video series on the subject, period.

    Thank you so much for taking the time and best of luck with upcoming installments!@

    I wish you had a mailing list

    @stormbytes, thank you. I will add this in a new batch of site updates. Plan to release every few weeks. Takes time to produce and I want them to remain top notch.

    @Dennis, Yep, also fixed in the updates. Will be released soon.

    Thanks again guys.

    I really like the video style (not the content itself, altho it’s great for newcomers), any tips on how to make a similiar video? What software do you use for editing it?

    New Episode releasing soon!, Check our website for updates!

    Hello bl00d, Thanks, yeah the content right now is aimed at 100% new people to CI. This video series uses several different types of software and methods to obtain high quality.

    Here is a list of the software used in current production:

    ScreenFlow
    Final Cut Studio (FCP & STP & CP)
    Photoshop
    Keynote

    Audio in first episode was recorded via mixer with a shotgun mic (Azden SGM2X), all audio for the rest of the series uses the same mic in a sound booth, recorded with a H4n recorder to obtain crisp and clean audio.

    Let me know if you have any other questions. The entire series is produced in full 1080P HD Video, transcoded to 720P for web.

    I will be keeping tabs on this web site.

    My only suggestion at this point is that I hope it’s not the same as every other CI series out there. Meaning, the first few videos are what CI is, how to install it, what some of the nifty features of CI are, etc. Sure, that info is useful - for newbies just discovering CI. 

    I want to see a series that works to build out something that is practical in a real world application. I’m tired of “hello world” tutorials…there are tooooo many of them.

    What is your target audience for these tutorials? Will you be gearing it towards people that have never touched CI before? or will you have some advanced goodies for people looking to take things to then next level? Or maybe a mixture of both?

    Can’t wait to see more 😊

    Hey Nate, thanks for your response.

    This series is not like the others, however yes the first few are for new people to CI, however the series is real-world and not the standard basic hello world type apps.

    In the first beginners series you learn a lot of basic CI stuff as well as how to build a common CMS-Blog style application.

    There will be another series after this one for advanced users of CI. In the end there will be several series and they will each be real-world applications and tailored to a specific audience.

    Thanks again and we hope you enjoy these series =)

    I’m very excited about this! May I request customizing pagination with database entries and perhaps using CI’s sessions and a user created database together? In other words, if you’re logged in, how to fetch that user’s information without storing it as a session.

    I think those topics would be well appreciated on top of the nettuts video tutorials that are available.

    Hey Zero, do me a favor and email us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and I’ll be sure to keep it in mind. I will be covering databases and pagination in our initial series.

    Thanks for watching! =)
