title: What are the first things I should do to convert my Codeigniter PHP web app to an iOS app?
body: <p>I have a PHP-coded website working on a codeigniter framework.  I want to create the iOS app version of this and understand they are completely different. But I want to learn while I try to make the app happen.</p>
  
  <p>I have spring break next week and want to try and get really far. I need to connect my site to a MySQL database and run a bunch of different algorithms.  I am assuming I will need to re-write all of the algorithms into a new language (Objective-C I believe) I just want to know the best way to get started building the app. I want to make sure I'm watching tutorials that will be beneficial to my end goals, rather just learn the basic core.</p>
  
  <p>I have things like xcode set up, just need to know where I should go.  Thank you!</p>
