Well, that was a bit more painful than I was expecting, however the “news” tutorial is complete.

I’m hoping there are other example and/or tutorial sources. 

I read manuals and documentation, but I’m a learner by doing and seeing examples.

Any other CI tutorials out there?  Can someone point me in that direction please. 

Thanks again for your help for a CI newbie.

Googling for CodeIgniter tutorial should give you enough tutorials to start with.

The downside is that most of them have been made for CodeIgniter 1.7.x and have not been updated since. You should ignore anything related to ‘scaffolding’, which used to be something like a mini version of phpMyAdmin but is now obsolete.
