Administration Console Tutorial

This tutorial is a school project and should be seen as such. Needless to say it wasn't written by a professional and hence there aught to be a lot of clumsy solutions and lack of functionality. This will - however - be improved over time since this CMS is something I will later use for a website. For now it's just a bug-ridden prototype that you may fool around with.

The goal for this tutorial is to show you how I did the CMS, hopefully in a way that let you reproduce my work. The code as it is now is rather wet, as in opposite to DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). This will also be improved over time.

The CMS, as it is in it's current state, can be found at the following url:

http://www.alvione.com/specialisation/workshop03/atsumerugamer/

I recommend to open that link in a new tab or window so you can switch between them as you continue through the tutorial.

Now let's get to it, shall we.
