This thread is for people that are interested in learning cakePHP or anyone that uses the framework. If you have any question about it, I will try to provide answers on it to the best of my abilities.

Why Choose cakePHP
1. It is easier to learn than conventional php
2. The MVC programming approach is standard procedure for many designers
3. It aids unit testing.
4. It is easier to locate errors
5. Cakephp does a lot of things for you!
6. It is 100% free, plus you get updates and support in use.


Introduction:
CakePHP is an open source web application framework. It follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) approach and is written in PHP, modeled after the concepts of Ruby on Rails, and distributed under the MIT License. CakePHP uses well-known software engineering concepts and software design patterns, such as Convention over configuration, Model-View-Controller, Active Record, Association Data Mapping, and Front Controller.

CakePHP started in April 2005, when a Polish programmer Michal Tatarynowicz[3] wrote a minimal version of a Rapid Application Framework in PHP, dubbing it Cake. He published the framework under the MIT license, and opened it up to the online community of developers. In December 2005, L. Masters and G. J. Woodworth founded the Cake Software Foundation to promote development related to CakePHP. Version 1.0 was released on May 2006.
