I'm building an organization's website, that is a mixture of static and dynamic content with a bit of functionality (login, search and results, a few forms etc)
Usually I build from scratch using MySQL and PHP but I'm interested in using CodeIgniter.
Obviously the official user guide is a good place to start - Any other suggestions?
I want to make sure that I'm building it in an elegant, secure and best-practice sort of way. Though I also don't want to complicate things and bite off more than I can chew just yet :)
Here you can find a useful kick-starter tutorial on CodeIgnitor:

Best regards.
Are you sure you don't want to use ExpressionEngine? Then you'd have lots of CI source code to look at that created in a best-practices kind of way. Search, forms, login (member management) are already built...
