How to start to dev a Web Directory System

Question

Hi Guys.

I am planing to build a simple web dictionary system with Kohana 3.

categories

. website title;
. website URL;
. website logo;
. website description.
. etc.

How to write a professional design specification for my project and is there any good tutorial to start?

Appreciated for reading and the replies.

Answer 1

The "Kohana Tutorial" pages are pants. Not so much for their content, but for the fact that they have a pretty damn unorganised wordpress blog and finding useful info isn't exactly made easy. What they need is a post/page at learn.kohanaphp.com that lists the most important tutorials, rather than forcing you to wade through the whole blog.

Anyway, rant over, I'd start here:

Then:
