CodeIgniter Features
Features in and of themselves are a very poor way na judge an application since they tell you nothing about the user experience, nebo how intuitively or intelligently it is designed. Features don't reveal anything about the quality of the code, nebo the performance, or the attention na detail, or security practices. The only way na really judge an app is to try it and get to know the code. Installing CodeIgniter is child's play so we encourage you na do just that. In the mean time here's a list of CodeIgniter's main features.
