Ahh, the recurring million dollar question: Should you start with Joomla and add your custom stuff as a Joomla component, or build everything from "scratch" with cake?
I've spent far too much time in the past agonizing over this. My own conclusion was if you're not in the web development business, and can live with what Joomla is, go with Joomla. It does what it was built for well, and deployment is instant and cheap. Anyone in the web development business, who is in it for the long term, would be better off building their development infrastructure on top of cake, then re-using that as a base to deliver different types of web apps. The real development money is (in my opinion) not in the blogs, forums, articles, galleries, etc. as that stuff is already available for free, with zillions of features, and has been super-tested on more platforms than you can dream. The meat and potatoes money in development, I believe, are companies whose web apps are their main business, they depend on them for revenues, and therefore it is worth it for them to constantly add new features, as it helps them make money. For that kind of target market, Joomla will not get you very far. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
