Tutorial
########
This tutorial is intended to introduce you to the CodeIgniter framework
and the basic principles of MVC architecture. 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 "Query Builder"
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.
- :doc:`Static pages <static_pages>`, which will teach you the basics
of controllers, views and routing.
- :doc:`News section <news_section>`, where you'll start using models
and will be doing some basic database operations.
- :doc:`Create news items <create_news_items>`, which will introduce
more advanced database operations and form validation.
- :doc:`Conclusion <conclusion>`, which will give you some pointers on
further reading and other resources.
Enjoy your exploration of the CodeIgniter framework.
