Opis

At this point, you should feel comfortable with the object-oriented programming style. The whole core of the event calendar's backend will be based on OOP, so any concepts that may currently seem unclear will be more thoroughly examined as the concepts from this chapter are put into a practical, real-world example. In the next chapter, you'll start building the backend of the events calendar. 118 C H A P T E R 4 ? ? ? Build an Events Calendar Now that you're up to speed on the concept of object-oriented programming, you can start working on the project that will be the meat and potatoes of this book: the events calendar. It all starts here, and as this book progresses, you'll be adding more and more functionality using both PHP and jQuery. Planning the Calendar Because you're starting from absolute scratch, you need to take a minute to plan the application. This application will be database-driven (using MySQL), so the planning will take part in two stages: first the database structure and then a basic map of the application that will access and modify the database. Defining the Database Structure To make building the application much easier, the first thing you should plan is how the data will be stored. This shapes everything in the application.
