Under The Hood
This application is built with the CodeIgniter Framework and adheres to Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern and Object Oriented Programing (OOP). If you are unfamiliar with these methods you may find this application very challenging to extend or help develop for.
If you're willing to learn, hopefully this application will be a good starting point to get into MVC and OOP web applications.
