== Coding standards and conventions==
~1)[[CodingGuidelinesHowto Wikka coding guidelines]];
~1)[[DocumentingCodeHowto Code documentation tutorial]];
~1)[[PageNamingConvention How to post code to this server]];
==Development code==
You can checkout the latest version of Wikka from the [[WikkaSVN SVN repository]].
== Database ==
~1)[[WikkaLogicalDataModel Wikka logical data model]] - an explanation of how the data "works" and a step on the way towards a better and expanded database;
~1)[[WikkaPhysicalDataModel Wikka physical data model]] - a model of the physical structure of the database, to help understand how Wikka stores and retrieves its data;
~1)[[Docs:WikkaTableStructure Wikka table structure]] - the structure of the MySQL-tables of Wikka;
== The Engine ==
~1)[[Docs:WikkaCore The Wikka API]] - a list of the available functions that should be used in the development of new components;
== Wikka components==
~1)[[Docs:ActionInfo Actions]]
~1)[[Docs:HandlerInfo Handlers]]
~1)[[Docs:FormatterInfo Formatters]]
==PHP general==
~1)Print this handy [[http://www.addedbytes.com/cheat-sheets/php-cheat-sheet PHP Cheat Sheet]] and put it on your desk - it will save many trips to the online PHP documentation; more about it [[http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/php/php-cheat-sheet/ here]].
