Qcodo is a fantastic PHP framework which uses code generation to accelerate the process of developing database driven websites. It not only generates all of the CRUD code for data objects, it also has a set of form objects from which to build the presentation layer. Out of the box it generates some basic forms to view and edit the data objects. This is the first in a series of articles discussing a simple technique for creating a consistent look and feel for a Qcodo site, while at the same time making it very easy to change the look of all or some of the pages at any time.

After a few weeks of development, baseballdata.net is now useable. It uses of the statistics database available at Baseball-Databank. The site was developed using the QCodo framework. There is still much work to do to add more statitics pages, but I decided that there were no more excuses for not opening up to the public. It also gives me the topic for the first assortedbits tutorial. The page templating system that was developed for baseballdata is interesting, so that will be our first tutorial. Look for that in the next few days.
