Okay, this I can agree with. Having examples of a simple and well-designed application built using CakePHP is a good thing. I think I'm having issues with the term "killer app" because the last thing CakePHP needs is the label "it's only good for building <insert type of system killer app is> systems." CakePHP is good for building MVC web applications. Is that a good summary? > 2.

Look, I've had this argument with my current boss at work already. He at least gave me sound reasons for not using CakePHP for what we're doing because we're not building an MVC web application. If they don't trust you to make correct technology decisions, why the hell are you working for that person? You've been relegated to being a typist. I prefer to be a programmer who stands up for his right to choose his technology in the face of compelling evidence, even if that position makes me unpopular with bosses and people on this list. -- 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.
