68Its goal is to enable you to develop projects much faster than you could if you were writing code
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +0000[diff] [blame]69from scratch, by providing a rich set of libraries for commonly needed tasks, as well as a simple interface and
admine334c472006-10-21 19:44:22 +0000[diff] [blame]70logical structure to access these libraries. Code Igniter lets you creatively focus on your project by
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +0000[diff] [blame]71minimizing the amount of code needed for a given task.</p>
