Beginner in CodeIgniter - codeigniter

Ok...so I've just started playing around with Codeigniter. I've followed the two tuts on their website and I'm looking for more resources to expand my knowledge. What do you guys recommend?

Start writing an application using CI. You'll learn more than any tutorial will teach you...

Nettuts' CodeIgniter from Scratch series is really useful for beginners.
Other than that, like #Justin said, just make an app.

You can also watch these two videos: http://codeigniter.com/tutorials/
You can also take a look at this tutorial which shows you how can you keep your controllers clean and non fat: http://chris-schmitz.com/cleaning-up-your-codeigniter-controllers/

Wanting to make an Xposed module

So I'm wanting to make an xposed module but cannot find any good video tutorials out there let alone an updated one also I know C# Decently and hardly any Java... Any help to help me get started would be appreciated. Thanks
You will need Java to create any Xposed modules. Android itself is based on (primarily) Java, so you will need Java knowledge to make Xposed modules.
That said, C# and Java are extremely similar languages, and you can quickly pick up the other if you know one.
As for Tutorials, Rovo89 (the creator of Xposed) has a simple tutorial here at https://github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge/wiki/Development-tutorial. This tutorial is almost completely upto-date, and you can use this to create your first module.
You will find another detailed tutorial here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709324. Keep in mind that this link is very old, so wherever there are any conflicts, go by Rovo89's tutorial.
After going through the beginner tutorial mentioned by Akhil, you will want to look at the API docs http://api.xposed.info/reference/packages.html and read through source code of some huge modules like GravityBox to get an idea of how the Framework is used. For teaching purpose mod some app which is open source and then move on to closed source app by reverse engineering them. For reverse engineering I use ByteCodeViewer.

Mean.js, where do I start?

I have to make a web application with Meanstack for a school project. I have downloaded and installed the newest version of the Mean.js boilerplate (http://meanjs.org/) and got the sample site working. But I have no idea how to continue. There are so many files in the project directory. Can somebody please tell me the files I can/need to change to start building my own app?
I'm very new to programming, so sorry if this is a stupid question. I'd really appreciate an answer.
This is what the project folder looks like.
The meanjs.org documentation (here) has plenty of great information about what each file does, and what you might need to research to get started. Besides that there are a lot of great tutorials out there, one I liked in particular was this youtube series.
Please note that in these examples I am using the mean stack from meanjs.org, not mean.io, and I am using version 0.3. If you are using a different MEAN stack, or version, I would still recommend first looking through the official documentation, and then various tutorials online.

Sample CakePHP Application

I'm looking for a basic CakePHP application I can use as base for a new project and future ones as well. What I need is basic functionality such as users, user groups, login and register and forgot password. I have been doing some Googling and found a few tutorials and that but all don't seem to be what I'm after. I found BakeMe which seemed good, but had lots of errors and doesn't seem to have been updated.
Anyone know of some good ones? Or perhaps have their own skeleton they use for new projects that they would be happy to share. Thanks.
How about the 'standard' blog tutorial: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1528/Blog
You could follow this up with the ACL tutorial and so tick most of your boxes: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1543/Simple-Acl-controlled-Application
I really recommend these two. They will introduce you to so many fundamental concepts of CakePHP that you'd be foolish to skip them. Anything built with CakePHP is extensible and the Cake Blog is no exception.

former php user trying to learn ruby...very tough

i write something in ruby thinking that it will work as it did in php but no!
i realized that you need to clone objects using .clone
merely associating to a variable doesn't work !
in php this worked fine!
it took 2 days until i discovered this error!
what tutorials can i read to get firm grasp on ruby ?!
Why's poignant guide to ruby
You might also want to look at the Pickaxe online.
Beginning Ruby by Peter Cooper is a good option.
I am a new Ruby user as well. What I did was build a web app first with Rails and then move into the Ruby core. This is the book I started with.
Foundation Rails 2
Check out this book: Rails for PHP Developers

codeigniter php

I want to ask one of those broad questions so please go easy on me. I know that phil is doing well with pyrocms but I would like to use pyro for my sites and also know how to write custom additions to the cms to suit my needs so what bums me out is how do you use it? where do i add my additions? how is it laid out? Like I said before go easy with me cos there is no documentation for pyrocms.
Thanks
I suppose this is one for me then :-)
modules can be added to the system by adding the folder to application/modules and copying the folder structure. To understand the modular structure better read the documentation for Matchbox by Zacharius K. I'm on my iPhone on a train so not going to look I up for you :-)
look a details.XML within the module to see how to set frontend/backend module type and when you have set a module with is_backend_sidebar clear the cache (or wait 6 hours :-p).
Documentation WILL come soon, my Internet has been down 2 months longer than expected so finishing v0.9.8 then documenting the lot will take a while.
Tweet or email me for more help.
