Build Your First Application

Overview

This tutorial will cover the basics of Codeignter4 framework and the basics principle of MVC

Codeignter4 is built on top PHP so you must have a basic understanding on PHP before diving in.. So basically we are gonna be building a crud system in CI4(Codeignter4). CRUD(Create Read Update Delete)

In this post we will cover installation

CI4 can be installed in 2 ways

Manual Installation
Composer Installation but we will be looking at manual installation.

To install manually all you need is to head over to github and download CI4

Extract and keep in a folder

Next we open terminal and cd into the folder directory

Then in the terminal type php spark serve

And you should be having this

Now open up your browser and type in the link CI4 gave you http://localhost:8080

And you should be having this.

Voila 🎉🎉 now we have CI4 running... So next we will take a look at the File Structure!.

5 TIPS FOR A DEVELOPER

Precious Oladele — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 21:29:36 +0000

As a developer/programmer, this are one of the best tip you can follow..

Focus on a thing As you can decide from the title, that this dude is trying to tell me to focus on one language, Am not what i meant is that you can learn as many languages , but companies will only ask you for one. Meaning no matter how many programming languages you know, focus on one
Develop(Practice) As it is well said, practice makes perfect.. imagine learning a new thing today and suddenly forgets tomorrow. WHY?, because you didn't practice what you learnt. so repetition is one of the best way to learn a lot
Build Stuffs(Projects) So alright sure, you can code and you remember your codes because you practice a lot, that amazing(to you). WHY? even tho you can code all in this world, without a project no one will believe you, they will take you for granted... so a developer without a project is more like a memer
Refactor your codes It is highly recommended to refactor your code: it is a technique to restructure a source code, altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior. Because as a developer we spend 80% reading code and 20% writing it, and if we have a good code we save a lot of time. Other thing is that often, we work with other people, and obviously is a good idea always write readable code.
Learn from experience Yes, you are a developer, you build amazing projects but you keep repeating the sane error, aren't you learning from your experience? i don't think so. Yh i don't, why? you took road A in the first phase and didn't work you switched , then when you need to do something like that you took the road A again, doesn't that sounds weird???? it does, learn as you code.

Bonus: Meet People Meeting new people is a great idea, because we establish a connection by winning contacts that can benefit us in future projects or jobs. It is also a good idea to talk with other developers to learn, also participate in meetings, presenter in a conference / talk and other things.

Thanks, hope you like it.

I GIVE UP , I HATE CODING

Precious Oladele — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 21:25:09 +0000

I GIVE UP , I HATE CODING this is one of the biggest challenge we face when it comes to working.

Imagine coding an application for 3hrs, you tested and it worked then few hours later you head back to check, boom u encountered an error on what you have tested. Me: i hate my life, i hate coding, Boss: I thought you said this was working already. LOL

That can be so annoying and frustrating lol, but we still have to keep on coding, trust me if plan a fails, try plan b and c if they ain't working too, keep on trying till you get to Z. your skill is a brand, protect it.

Lets take cs dojo for example, this particular guy applied at google 5 times and got rejected 4 times, imagine lol.. that basically means his lucky number is 5

Imagine me too applying for jobs more than 10 times and boom my whatsapp status got me a remote laravel backend job lol , seems weird right?

if you stop trying then you start failing _ devprecious, yes if you give up today you have given up everything, I gave up more than 3 times but with the help of people around me I was able to get on my feet back, imagine I didn't have supportive people around me, I would have become a Disc Jockey(Dj)..Lol

So basically your first failure is a map to your success..

Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success.

Don't mind the above definition you should focus on Impossible which is basically I'm possible.. So keep on pushing and let see where we get to.

I guess am a motivational speaker now... LOL
