Re: Building a CakePHP app with Parse.com - anyone done it?
I too am interested in Parse.com and CakePHP. For my purposes (creating a search site that looks up stored lat/long locations), I need a simple website with user login/profile, database posting/getting using REST, and native iPhone and Android apps. I would also like to extend the webapp/mobile app to incorporate twitter, facebook, and pinterest. WhyNotSmile, have you made the merge from CakePHP to Parse.com? I think I want to store all my data on Parse and send requests from the mobile apps or the webapp. Does this design sound reasonable? One more catch: I would like for each user to be able to setup a custom page available to the public. I will need images for each user and the problem is Parse's free service only allows for 1GB. I am thinking that I would have to store all images on the CakePHP server, but save the URL link for them in the Parse database. I am not sure if this would be a good solution. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance, -Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Building a CakePHP app with Parse.com - anyone done it?
A client has asked me about using Parse.com for a site. I already have a version of the site in CakePHP 2.0, but he reckons that in the future they'll want a mobile app, and the mobile developers said that they find it much easier to build if they use Parse.com. Therefore, he asked me about porting the site over to Parse.com. >From a quick read of the Parse.com docs, it looks like it would basically replace the MySQL database, and instead the site would need to use REST queries to get the data from Parse. I've done a little bit of REST stuff before, but it's almost always been by copying and pasting from the relevant documentation, so it's not something I fully have a grasp of. Anyway, I wondered whether anyone else has built a Cake app on this platform, and if so, what's it like to work with?
