This is the first video tutorial in the Codeigniter.tv series 'Creating a MY_Model'. In this series, we will be creating our own MY_Model.

In this episode we will look at what a MY_Model is and why you would want to use one. Also, you will see a demo of what a MY_Model can do.

Bascially, a MY_Model is a base model from which you can extend all other models. In your MY_Model you would typically define all basic CRUD (Read, Update, Delete) functionality.
