Thanks Martin, I still am trying to wrap my head around the workflow... so now that I have my database running and the cake folder in htdocs... what do I do now? Is the app folder where I do my development? Do I have to create a folder for my project? Where do I bake? In the app folder or somewhere else? I can't find any documentation that answers these questions definitively. Any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
