The killer app for Rails is Basecamp, not Radient CMS. Rails, in fact, grew out of extractions from the creation of Basecamp. Trivial nitpicking aside, I fail to understand how a "killer app" for CakePHP is going to lead more developers to start using CakePHP instead of Zend Framework or Symfony. We are aiming at *developers* not *users*. PHP suffers from being considered "lame" by the latest generation of web developers, who tout Python and Ruby as the only good scripting languages for the web. Never mind that several of the biggest web applications out there use PHP (Yahoo! ring a bell?). To steal a phrase from Microsoft, it's all about "developers, developers, DEVELOPERS!!!". We (as in the community using CakePHP) need to find constructive ways to convince developers to use CakePHP. -- Chris Hartjes My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" rallyhat.com - digital photo scavenger hunt @TheBallpark - http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
