morning all, just thought i would chime in with my 2.
i agree, there are a lot of beginners about the place. at one stage being a Cake newbie myself, it has only been through serious time dedicated have I managed to come out with what I think to be a pretty good application utilising *some* of the finer points of CakePHP. along the way there were a lot of occasions where I didn't know which direction to choose and found myself procrastinating about a decision due to a simple lack of knowledge about either MVC or Cake itself. I have found great assistance in: 1. the manual 2. the wiki (and now the bakery) 3. the various blogs around (thanks fellas) 4. searching google groups 5. the source code 6. the api 7. asking questions in here roughly in that order. i think either a faq, or a seperate category in the bakery for 'The Basics' would be very beneficial. In a nutshell, i've managed to find my way around using the current resources. however an area where these basic questions were answered would be wonderful. every time a question continues to arise in the groups it would be nice to record it somewhere else in a tagged (and possibly categorised) trouble shooting or faq section. doesn't have to be one of the fellas who adds it, i'm sure any of us can summarise the email thread and include the content in the right place. just some thoughts, mikee On 25/10/06, kiper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Praise the powers that be, the wiki is dead.
