Can you recommend me some book about CodeIgniter? I have knowledge about oop but not about mvc or other frameworks.

It seems a good book...Do you know if they are planning an updated version?

@stef - I have seen a lot of tech books that just re-write/word documentation usually adding some slightly more complex examples; sometimes its useful to have that information compiled into a volume which can be read while commuting to work for instance.

Joining sAc I'd recommend you that book and another one:
It will tell you what's MVC, where it came from etc.

RTFM. Seriously, it's the best thing to start with, especially with CI's good documentation. Have your code editor open, and experiment with it as you go through the manual - see about recreating apps you've made already using CI. In the end, a book can only teach so much - it comes down to you.
Also try looking through the source of PHP scripts written using MVC & Frameworks (for this, maybe consider ExpressionEngine) to see how best to use it/etc.

I agree, the CI documentation is seriously good and explains everything clearly, you don't need to pay for a book!

+1 Codeigniter is a breeze and the documentation explains _almost_ everything; whatever is left over is probably not enough to fill a book

As much as I love Tom his book is getting a little old now. The one by Adam Griffiths is the most up to date but still only is a "User Guide with extra's" like many of the books out there at the moment.
