Part 1: The Database

“What’s this?” I hear you ask in fascinated Jack Skellington style. “Build A Blog v2.0? You mean… she’s actually re-writing it?”

That’s right, kids, welcome to the first instalment of the re-write of CodeGrrl’s seminal Build A Blog tutorial. It’s a weighty undertaking; with its mighty promise, the BAB tutorial has been leading young, would-be coders to the murky waters of PHP for over two years now, and more power to it. However, in that time it has been a source of tremendous frustration to ‘established’ coders as the coding foundations it lays down are shakey at best and outright dangerous at worst. Nevertheless, the idea is still a great one and with that in mind I’ve tasked myself with re-writing the behemoth. Wish me luck.

But I’m sure you’re not here to hear about that; you’re here to learn how to write your own blog, from scratch, and hopefully give yourselves some solid foundations in PHP while you’re at it. So hold on tight, kids, and here we go…
