DESCRIPTION
CakePHP in Action: The Official Guide is officially endorsed and technically validated by the Cake Software Foundation.
With over 500,000 downloads of the CakePHP framework, it's tough to find a PHP discussion that doesn't mention CakePHP. Thanks to its ease of use, and its ability to rapidly deploy complex web applications, CakePHP has developed a large and dedicated community. By providing a tested, intelligent framework for PHP web application developers, CakePHP brings a standardized, best-practice-based approach to the Wild West environment of PHP coding.
CakePHP in Action: The Official Guide is the first guide to CakePHP endorsed and supported by the Cake Software Foundation. This book first shows you the core concepts of frameworks and MVC design. It then shows you how to get started with CakePHP from installation to Hello World.
After you're up and running, the author illuminates each component of Cake, tying each piece together with a running example. The primary structure of CakePHP—models, views, and controllers—is covered twice. First you're introduced to CakePHP's overall structure and usage. With the basics well in hand, you learn how to apply more advanced techniques.
Beyond models, views, and controllers, this book explores many other aspects of CakePHP. You walk through built-in AJAX support, helpers, developing plugins, access control using ACLs, data validation, and much more. The final chapter introduces you to The Bakery, the CakePHP community site for code contributions, tutorials, and more.
This book assumes that you have a solid foundation in PHP but you don't need prior exposure to CakePHP or other web application frameworks.
