title: Where can an absolute beginner of Kohana PHP go to learn how to use it from the ground up?
body: <p>I have a month of free time and I've decided to launch my own website. It's going to be big and have dymanic content where different users with different roles can perform modifications to the site. Place comments, rate stores, list items, etc.</p>
  
  <p>This sound like a <strong>perfect</strong> opportunity for me to expand my horizons and learn a PHP Framework.</p>
  
  <p>I've used PHP bare bones before but nothing too complex. </p>
  
  <p>As of now, do you think Kohana is a mature framework to use? I've used Zend in the past for a course in Uni but it sucked <strong>horribly</strong>, I was new to the MVC model, but Zend had pretty much zero workable tutorials and guides for newbies. That's why I hated it.</p>
  
  <p>Where can I go to learn how to use Kohana from a retarded starting point?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much for your time.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong>
  While documentation is nice, it's not really what I'm looking for. I learn much quicker when there is a step by step guide on how to build a functioning website example, with theory pasted as side text to what is being done in that step.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anything like that in existance?</p>
