WORKLOG FOR FYP: WEEK 4

I started my setting up for my web server by signing up the AWS. Installing PHP, MySQL, and Apache. I also try to gather some suggestion from graduated senior who are working as web developer. He provided me some good frameworks, which listed as:

1. Cake PHP (http://cakephp.org)
2. CodeIgniter (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter)
3. Laravel (http://laravel.com/)

Among these choices, I chose CodeIgniter due to its simplicity and lightweight. However, going into CodeIgniter costs me a lot of time due to its high learning curve. From learning CodeIgniter, I understood few new extra things, such as MVC concept, how the abstraction principle being applied in web development and how the data flow in the web systems.

I also chose Bootstrap as my CSS framework in designing the web system.
