php - If I learn Codeigniter, can I use it with Drupal or is that a bad idea and I should use Expression Engine? -


will learning codeigniter (or framework matter such cakephp or zend) development in drupal or 2 separate systems won't benefit other when have knowledge in one?

i know expression engine cms developed codeigniter in mind, drupal has larger community , hoping i'd still able stick drupal , see if me knowing codeigniter (currently i'm studying, haven't gotten drupal yet) of use developing in drupal.

drupal & codeigniter different php frameworks (drupal considered cms became framework). work/learning in codeigniter undoubtedly give perspective when working drupal , grow coding skills, wont learn drupal core api's , methodologies.

i recommend getting drupal cause it's hawt (in demand), once head around assumptions & common patterns helps build things fast, community huge , cool kids doing it. if learning codeigniter , want leverage learning in ee, makes perfect sense...and if that's you/your clients want, rock on.

to start drupal recommend getting can out of box core & popular contrib modules:
