Introduction

Amongst many PHP based frameworks, Kohana sets itself apart from the rest with its ideology of following common conventions and rules to develop fully object oriented web applications. This BSD licensed framework does not come with commercial strings attached and it has a build-by-the-community, for-the-community type of philosophy.

In this three-part DigitalOcean series, we will be covering all the essentials a developer should be familiar with in order to start building web applications using the PHP5 Kohana framework. We will begin with going over some of the basics, continuing through the key concepts and modules after installing the framework.

Note: This is the first article in our Kohana series – and it mainly consists of the basics and its installation. To continue with learning the framework to create web-applications, check out its sequel Building Web Applications with HMVC PHP5 Framework Kohana.
