Description
CakePHP is a leading PHP–based web app development framework. When asking a question on forums or chat rooms, many CakePHP beginners get little help from the experts. Simple questions can get a response like, “Well, just read the online manual and API.” Unfortunately, the online manual is depreciated, and who wants to absorb a programming language or framework from an API?
Beginning CakePHP will do the following:
• Leads you from a basic setup of CakePHP to building a couple applications that will highlight CakePHP’s functionality and capabilities without delving too deeply into the PHP language, but rather what the CakePHP framework can offer the developer.
• Teaches you to use CakePHP by incorporating advanced features into your web development projects.
• Targets beginners of CakePHP or web frameworks in general as well as experienced developers with limited exposure to CakePHP. A secondary audience may include developers undecided on adopting CakePHP or business managers trying to assess the value of incorporating CakePHP into their toolbox.
What you'll learn:
• Install and configure the CakePHP web framework.
• Create your first CakePHP web application: to–do lists.
• Progress by building a more complex blogging application.
• Incorporate Ajax and Web 2.0 principles and techniques into your blogging and other CakePHP applications.
• Apply these sample applications along with advanced techniques as a framework or template for building your own web applications with CakePHP going forward.
