Beginning CakePHP: Beginning
From Novice to Professional
Dear Reader,
Rapid development frameworks surfaced not long ago, finally bringing to the
web development world the effective tools other software systems have enjoyed Beginning
for a long time. If you are like me, you can probably recall poring over all the
online documentation you could find trying to learn these new methods for
building web sites, only to find they all required that you learn another pro-
gramming language with which you hadn’t previously worked. Or you probably
found several dead ends where the tutorials or terminology confused you.
As web frameworks became increasingly popular, what I wanted was a
CakePHP
framework in PHP, the language I had already learned and loved, that could
deliver all that I was reading about in these other platforms. And I wanted
someone to tell me in simple terms how and where to start. I found CakePHP—
the most robust, cleanest, well-designed PHP framework available—and now CakePHP
building web sites has never been better.
This book provides you with a good start to CakePHP. You will learn where
to begin, what tools Cake provides, and how to rapidly write methods into your
application. es with an impressive collection of helper functions and
core methods that make data handling, form processing, Ajax request handling, From Novice to Professional
file uploading, XML parsing, and other web-related tasks much easier to man-

and to provide you with a simple approach that gets you started on the right
path to creating web sites with CakePHP.
