I’ve been digging for a long time in this framework: CakePHP<\/a>. Nothing new here, I just wanted to shout that I love working at the bakery<\/a>!<\/p>\n

After many\u00a0projects\u00a0in web apps, mainly using\u00a0PHP<\/a>, I’ve noticed the huge amount of time that any developer spends creating support structures – such as: database connection, reading\/writing data, form validation, basic string functions, etc. A framework can reduce\u00a0this waste of time, letting you focus on what really matters: user interaction, services and data.<\/p>\n

The most famous framework, nowadays, is Ruby on Rails<\/a>, which combines multiple programming paradigms and fits like a glove in agile software development models. Includes nice features as scaffolding<\/a> (so damn cool!), Active Record, MVC <\/a>structure (so KISS<\/a>!!), etc. Cool, huh? Maybe at first sight… I’ve spent much time trying to read the RoR Bible<\/a>, but I get quite lost in Ruby’s details. Good framework, complex language.<\/p>\n

The founders of CakePHP took the RoR concepts and created a whole new framework, combining the best features from both worlds. Since I prefer to read (and write) in PHP, they’ve created something highly useful for me. Combined with the traditional web dev artillery<\/a>, there is a plugin for syntax highlighting <\/a>and the other old buddy for content upload<\/a>. For the skeptics, here is the traditional demo: how to setup a blog in less than 15 minutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EDIT: However… I hate when they change the API. That’s why they call it “beta”… :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
