An overview of the CakePHP framework
There are many frameworks available for the PHP programming language nowadays, and especially a lot of RAD (Rapid Application Development) frameworks which aim to make web development faster, less tedious and more organized. CakePHP was one of the first frameworks to port the RAD philosophy - which became so popular after Ruby on Rails - to the PHP programming language. CakePHP v1.0 is now one of the most popular and intuitive solutions for PHP programming, let's discover why…
没想到 IBM developerWorks 也开始了一些关于 CakePHP 的文章，Cook up Web sites fast with CakePHP 序列将讲解如何使用 CakePHP 构建一个在线产品目录。不过目前只有第一部分：Getting started：
About this series
- Part 1 focuses on getting CakePHP up and running, and the basics of how to put together a simple application allowing users to register for an account and login to the application.
- Part 2 demonstrates how to use Scaffolding and Bake to get a jump start on your application, and using CakePHP access control lists.
- Part 3 shows how to use Sanitize, a handy CakePHP class, which helps secure an application by cleaning up user-submitted data. Part 3 also covers the CakePHP security component, handling invalid requests and other advanced request authentication.
- Part 4 focuses primarily on the Session component of CakePHP, demonstrating three ways to save session data, as well as the Request Handler Component to help you manage multiple types of requests (mobile browsers, requests containing XML or HTML, etc).
- And Part 5 deals with caching, specifically View and Layout caching, which can help reduce server resource consumption and speed up your application.
前一段有个不认识的朋友来信，询问如何在 CakePHP 中使用 sortable 拖曳排序，因为空闲时间不多，所以我也就简单的回了几封信，不知道这位朋友现在是否已经明白。不管怎样，今天还是抽空写了《AJAX in CakePHP (2) - Sortable》，希望对正在使用或将要使用 CakePHP AjaxHelper 的同学有所帮助。 之后还会抽时间争取把这个序列的文章完成 
一个模仿 Rails day 的编程竞赛，只要在 24 小时之内使用 CakePHP 完成一个应用，你将有可能得到很酷的嘉奖，当然你要在众多的竞争者中胜出才行，另外具体什么奖品没公布，貌似连 sponsor 都还没有……
Things are really starting to heat up in the kitchen over at CakePHP as they announce their first (annual?) Baking Day "24 Hour coding contest". While the ingredients list in incomplete for Baking Day we do know that it contain equal measures of of inspiration, hard work, teamwork and don't forget to mix in a heaping helping of the secret ingredient, CakePHP.
《PHPMore》Vol6 发布了。
我写了一篇《AJAX in CakePHP》，这是第一次为 PHPMore 撰稿，希望能有一些反馈。昨天有位金山的朋友跟我说希望能多写些东西，其实自己也曾经这么想过，也断断续续写过一些，但总是由于各种借口没有将这些内容整理出来，以后有时间的话一定会不断写一些，也希望和朋友们多交流交流。
