I have successfully implemented the blog tutorial twice now, since I had to reinstall cake.
I was seeking to use the tutorial as a 'quick-start' method to getting to understand what makes Cake tick. Unfortunately, I don't feel like the tutorial helped concepts really sink in for me, so I have been reading the manual from the top, more closely this time, attempting to understand everything within. In the end, the tutorial itself was confusing me in this case because it seemed to contradict what I was reading in the manual. I admit I have a lot of weakness in OOP, never programmed in it before although I have created my own classes in php because they were a good fit for the need. But I was under the impression that Cake was novice-friendly. "CakePHP aims to assist PHP users of all levels to create robust, maintainable applications quickly and easily. This manual expects a basic knowledge of PHP and HTML. A familiarity with the Model-View-Controller programming pattern is helpful, but we will cover that along the way for those new to MVC." Of course, I'm happy to undertake the learning oop, but if the Cake community recommends I do so with a different language other than php under Cake, then that might be something worth communicating as part of the introduction to Cake. I'm sure I represent a large number of web developers, accustomed to more linear php programming and seeking something better, who are beating a path to Cake's door today as of the publicized release of 1.0. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
