I am working an classifying tweets as positive or negative opinion. I heard Naive Bayes classifier is used commonly for classifying and I would like to write my own Naive Bayes Classifier for my project. Since, I am new to Data Mining and Naive Bayes classifier am not able to understand what and how to use Naive Bayes. Can anyone help me through??

First of all, a classifier needs to be trained with already classified data, the more the better; for example you need one hundred positive tweets and another one hundred negative.
If you're using python, you could start with NLTK and its huge collection of corpora
See also this question for a practical example.
