This book started out with some specific examples of how CodeIgniter can save you time and effort when you are writing websites using PHP. We've gone through some of the many things CI can do, using as a basis some parts of a website that will conduct regular tests of other websites. I hope that these examples have shown how CI makes coding much easier at the macro level.
In this chapter, I'd like to step back a little and look at the overall impact of using the CodeIgniter framework. Does it make writing a complete application easier? Can it produce professional results?
