On his blog today Kowser introduces you to Kohana, an easy to use, lightweight PHP HMVC framework that can help you get applications up and running quickly. In his tutorial he walks you through the creation of a simple application - a typical blog.

Kohana is the framework I liked best among other PHP framework. Its an easy one also . To me it is organized, highly object oriented, having clear separation of model, view & controller. Autoloading of classes is nice feature here also. Here is the tutorial I prepared. [...] Probably you have downloaded the zip file from here.

He walks you through the initial setup and configuration first then jumps right into the code with an "Article" controller, a view to match and a simple model to hook into a "kohana_blog" table (creation SQL provided). Using this setup, he shows how to get a list of the current articles and update current ones/add new ones via a basic form.
