Cake: A Framework for PHP Application Development

Thursday, Jun. 23 2005 | Author: Nicole

Okay, so I’m not the first one to this party, but I have to say that Cake has definitely piqued my interest. And, besides, why should Ruby On Rails have all the web hype spotlight? The official informational byline:

Cake is a lightweight framework for rapid development and easy maintanance of PHP web applications of any kind and level of complexity.

Anyone know of new apps developed using this framework?

Great another thing I will never master that someone has managed to get me interested in. I mean so many innovations have been coming out lately and I don’t have time to focus on an absorb all of them.

I absolutely dread the release of Longhorn. Because Avalon and Indigo open a whole new world of things I want to learn but won’t. It’s neat to see all the innovations though coming from already existing technologies though.

It’s interesting, but a ways off from being usable, in my opinion: “the Model has CRUD functionality but with no joins between tables yet.”? No thanks

A little lightweight in the features dept. right now, but definitely something to keep an eye on as a PHP developer.

Half magic of RoR is the the first ‘R’: Ruby.

Cake seems too damn complicated to me…

Author says: “The directory structure is already layed out, and it can be quite differe from what you’re used to. Many PHP programmers start as web- or graphic-designers, i.e. they are not university-educated programmers as many C++ and Java programmers.”

–Yeah, that’s me! :)
