CodeIgniter was originally developed by `Rick Ellis <https://ellislab.com/>`_
|
|
(CEO of `EllisLab, Inc. <https://ellislab.com/>`_). The framework was written for
|
|
performance in the real world, with many of the class libraries, helpers, and
|
|
sub-systems borrowed from the code-base of `ExpressionEngine
|
|
<https://ellislab.com/expressionengine>`_.
|
|
|
|
It was, for years, developed and maintained by EllisLab, the ExpressionEngine
|
|
Development Team and a group of community members called the Reactor Team.
|
|
|
|
In 2014, CodeIgniter was acquired by the `British Columbia Institute of Technology
|
|
<http://www.bcit.ca/>`_ and was then officially announced as a community-maintained
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
Bleeding edge development is spearheaded by the handpicked contributors
|
|
of the Reactor Team.

A hat tip goes to Ruby on Rails for inspiring us to create a PHP framework, and
|
|
for bringing frameworks into the general consciousness of the web community. |
