DRY database stuff

Joost's video tutorial is an excellent way to understand them: http://codeigniter.tv/

Jesse Terry has written a nice one: https://github.com/jesseterry/CodeIgniter-CRUD-Model

Jamie Rumbelow has as well: https://github.com/jamierumbelow/codeigniter-base-model that I wrote a brief tutorial about how to use: http://www.codebyjeff.com/blog/2012/01/u...s-my_model

Definitely choose one or build your own and always be in the habit of using it - I wish a basic default MY_Model was included in CI & taught as the standard way to start coding projects
