CodeIgniter v1.7.x vs. v2.0.x
I have been using CodeIgniter from November 2009, and have developed 6 web projects on it so far. While developing CMS, order management systems and other web apps on CI, I did manage to tweak the framework a bit since there was no release from September 2009. CodeIgniter released v2.0.0 back in January 2011 and I came across it 2 weeks back while searching for another PHP framework. Compared CakePHP, Yii, CodeIgniter, Kohana, Zend and found CI 2.0.0 to be right the choice again for me – simple, good documentation and speed!
After the release of CI 2.0.0, many developers compared the two versions and found the newer much faster. I tried to migrate one of my projects without going through much documentation but was facing some errors, will try back again next week. However, I checked the benchmarks of 2 simple v1.7.3 and v2.0.1 and following were the results:
v1.7.3
| Loading Time Base Classes | 0.0151 |
| Controller Execution Time ( Welcome / Index ) | 0.0038 |
| Total Execution Time | 0.0190 |
v2.0.1
| Loading Time Base Classes | 0.0102 |
| Controller Execution Time ( Welcome / Index ) | 0.0029 |
| Total Execution Time | 0.0132 |
I still have to benchmark the newer version on my apps and test it out completely before publishing web apps with CI v2.0.x. CI released v2.0.1 on March 15, 2011 – details about change log can be found on their official web and for v2.0.0, visit: codesamplez.com.
Peace!

My first WordPress plug-in: Tags 2 Meta Generator
An extensive WordPress plug-in that generates META tags automatically for your posts! Let it be your post or home page, this little plug-in does it job automatically.
The plug-in works in an intelligent manner, META description is generated on the basis of page or post name respectively. Though when you are composing a new post, all post tags are automatically used as META keywords. However, in case of your pages (e.g. Home, About Me etc.), the plug-in compiles META keywords by putting all your category names, giving user a better advantage on search engines and specially in getting more relative Adsense Ads on their blogs!
