It will show you how a +basic CodeIgniter application is constructed in step-by-step fashion. + +In this tutorial, you will be creating a **basic news application**. You +will begin by writing the code that can load static pages. Next, you +will create a news section that reads news items from a database. +Finally, you'll add a form to create news items in the database. + +This tutorial will primarily focus on: + +- Model-View-Controller basics +- Routing basics +- Form validation +- Performing basic database queries using "Active Record" + +The entire tutorial is split up over several pages, each explaining a +small part of the functionality of the CodeIgniter framework. You'll go +through the following pages: + +- Introduction, this page, which gives you an overview of what to + expect. +- `Static pages <static_pages.html>`_, which will teach you the basics + of controllers, views and routing. +- `News section <news_section.html>`_, where you'll start using models + and will be doing some basic database operations. +- `Create news items <create_news_items.html>`_, which will introduce + more advanced database operations and form validation. +- `Conclusion <conclusion.html>`_, which will give you some pointers on + further reading and other resources. + +Enjoy your exploration of the CodeIgniter framework. |
