Before this class, I was always taught mainly to code everything by hand, if I wanted repetitive code, I had to copy and paste the code I already had. Never once, did I think about using a template until I started my internship about a year ago where the business used WordPress. When I started using WordPress, it was my first time using a template for designing. While at first, it was very convenient for me to design using repetitive code, it took away the freedom I had designing as I often became frustrated when I wanted to change something because it was difficult to do so. HTML frameworks while they serve as both a convenient tool and a hindrance. HTML frameworks serve as a skeleton when designing websites. They are designed to be a way to quick build a page which is why I would often refer to them as templates. Not only do frameworks apply to pages, they can be used to code style sheets as well since frameworks are not something that needs to be complex. It is possible to have a library of them. An example would be if you wanted to have different style sheets for different occasions spread throughout different sites. Such a method can be used on regular pages such as if you were running a business and wanted to have a uniform product page. One good point about them is that they are easy to find as there are hundreds of them. There are many advantages and disadvantages to frameworks. On top of having a framework easier to help design a website easier, they offer numerous advantages. Using frameworks allows you to use your time more productively as you may have relatively less time code to code optimizing you of using your time for other critical parts of a project. Frameworks also makes it easier to set a familiarly for you ... ... middle of paper ... ... framework is really fast as no one would want to code with a framework that is slow. One disadvantage CodeIgniter may have is the separation of modules. This may be a disadvantage depending on the coder. I personally, did not find any disadvantage with this framework up to this point. To summarize, Code Igniter offers easy code to setup and a large tutorial base and community to help you coding needs. The final frameworks I would like to compare is CakePHP. Like CodeIgniter, CakePHP has a large community to help you coding needs. Also like I mentioned before, this is very essential when working with frameworks especially if you are a new coder. With CakePHP you can install numerous plugins which can help you manage your code or can take away the task of coding repetitive code. CakePHP also has a reverse routing feature which allows you to change roots in one spot
