This will be a starting point of a new tutorial series on Kohana MVC frameworks. I will do a walk through on varies sections and will divided to several parts rather than rush through the entire framework in one go. The example code will be incremental continuous building a web project for as long as I can handle. I will also make it possible to join the tutorial from the middle, that way if you only need to learn a particular section, you won’t feel lost without gone through the previous build ups.

Assume Knowledge

Basic PHP and MySQL skills are pre-requisite. It is also good idea to have basic ideas of what MVC is and does.

Coding Style

I will follow strict Kohana coding conventions to stay in consistent as well as promoting best practices.

Configuration

Walk through will be running in Windows XP SP 3 with WampServer 2.1a:

  • Apache 2.2.17
  • MySQL 5.5.8
  • PHP 5.3.3

Code base will be base on the latest stable version of kohana to date starting with Kohana 3.1.2 and will stay up to date, which I will mentioning upgrade during tutorials.

Topic List

I will be running through the chronicle order as per KO3′s user guide:

  • Installation and Hello World
  • Basics on Controller and View
  • Basics on Model
  • Page Template and Theming
  • etc

This is only a draft topic list and may rearrange or add more topics if I found it’s reasonable to.

 

Stay tune on this post as I will add the tutorial links as we go!
