Re: New to cake and need advice
Hi, I think If you can spend some time with (pure) PHP, It is the best option. Participate on at least one project. I found following is in one of excellent CakePHP book. "Once readers have gone through the book, there will be no turning back! Web development will never be the same again. Developing a web application will become so easy, that it might make the readers very lazy. As a matter of fact, readers might even forget the basic syntaxes of PHP! And the word Cake will have a completely new meaning to them" On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 11:20 PM, newguy wrote: > Hi everyone > Am new to cake and php but I have 5 - 6 years of coding experience in > c/c++.

Re: New to cake and need advice
All of it should fit into place - on a pure php side of things, make sure you are 100% up to php array usage, all other parts of the language should fall straight into place with any of the primers you have learned so far. After that it is just boning up on the "convention" side of things and figuring out the best "association side" of related models to use to access data based on the default recursive Model::find* methods.

Go for it I made the transition after 10 years in C#. I guess you want to do web applications so you have to learn new things any way. I think php and cakephp in particular is the best thing to start with. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

I'd recommend you go through some of the tutorials that are available. Watch some screencasts about building a basic CakePHP application (the blog app is a common one) and try to follow along, built your own app that does what they're doing. Try making small changes. The PHP documentation is pretty good at helping you learn how to use individual functions, once you get to something you need a PHP function for.
