I know my question isn’t about programming problem, I just need a suggestion to get started on right direction but I’m guessing this non-question post is going to be close 🙁 there should be two types of post, “ask question” and “ask suggestion” 😀

I’m a beginner in PHP and currently getting my hands dirty on PHP OOP, made a little framework.

I’m planning to learn codeigniter and wordpress, Kindly suggest me which thing should I start first with?
can I do full projects with wordpress like college/university CMS? Shopping cart? etc custom forms with dynamic fields/data?
Can I use codeigniter scripts in wordpress custom page?

    First off I don’t know codeigniter.
    But of course it is possible to use codeigniter scripts in your wordpress plugins and theme’s.
    This plugin should do that: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-code-igniter/

    Do beware that WordPress had a lot of build in functions for developers.
    Try not to duplicate functions. Like the database connection use wpdb and others.

    Read the codex, start with building your own theme before moving into you own plugin
    And if you start building then codeignitor should be usefull, everything(like 95%) you need to do in a theme should be possible with build in wordpress functions.
