$this->User->create() initialises an object instance. It is required
when creating several instances while in a loop.
$this->request->data represents the data that has been POSTed as part

$this->User->set($this->request->data);
if ($this->User->validates()) {
if ($this->User->save()) {
Be aware of versions when reading anything online. There are plenty of
sites out there with good info but some of it will inevitably be
outdated. Read the latest migration instructions first (even if it
doesn't make sense yet) and refer to it as you learn more.
