How to create a Magento 1.6 shipping module?

I'm trying to create my own Magento shipping module in Magento 1.6. Since I have no experience making Magento modules, I'm trying to find a blank custom shipping module to add stuff to. Th开发者_运维百科ere are a few tutorials online, but they all seem outdated or loaded with bugs.

Can anyone point me to something like this tutorial but working for 1.6? Or perhaps a blank module already packaged in a zip file?

If you want a package for shipping module than you should follow this link

http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/ig-multi-flat-shipping.html (or any other free shipping extension)

After installing this extension you can go through its Code that will enable you to create your own shipping module.
