Creating a configurable Magento attribute from scratch - magento

I need to extend Magento to allow changing the price of a product based on an attribute, such as size or color. I can't use any in-built facilities Magento might have for this - I need to write the code myself. I'm a beginning Magento developer. Can anybody help? Maybe point me to a guide or walk-through for this on the internet? Thanks!

You may wish to read some of the basic guides on Magento to answer a question like this. This is entirely the point of configurable products and of custom product options.
Hope that helps
Thanks,
Joe

If you want a Magento frontend view which is admin manageable (with your own custom database tables) try this piece I wrote: link. Hope it suits you.
You should add a custom module to add that.

How to apply a custom option to all products in Magento

I'm having problem with my new magento site, I want to apply a custom option to all the products on my site. Basically I want to add the custom pricing option for large sizes (my site is about motorcycle leather jackets etc), so if someone chooses a size that requires extra amount, there should be an option for that. I can apply this option to one product at a time. Does somebody know how to apply this to all products at one? Here's the link for my site: http://www.lopeholt.com
Thanks in advance.
If you want to add custom options to multiple products,same functionality is provided by following extension which could help to save your time to assign custom options to multiple products.
You can also set custom option for different sizes(large sizes).

If you want to do this completely for free without relying on extensions you can use Magmi. It takes a little while to get used to but it allows you to import almost anything for your product database - here's the link to the Magmi tutorial:
https://understandinge.com/course/importing-products-magento/
Link to the Custom Options upload instructions:
http://wiki.magmi.org/index.php?title=Custom_Options#File_to_upload_field
There's no simple hack to do this.
However, there is a free extension to copy custom options to multiple products which could help you to save lots of work:

Update: extension isn't free anymore.

Here is a good but old tutorial how to add custom fields in registration page
http://www.fontis.com.au/blog/magento/custom-customer-signup-attributes
It was done for Magento 1.3 so you need to read comments below the article to make it works on Magento 1.7 or check out this answer on SO Can no longer add registration fields in Magento 1.4.2.0
Also there are few extensions on Magento connect for that purpose.
Thanks for all your input. I came across this extension and it worked REALLY GREAT for me!
