Re: Using or not using PHP framework

Or put it into your libs directory and load it using
App::import('lib', 'MyClass/my_class') which will load
libs/my_class.php in both cases (even if my_class.php is in a subdir
of libs).

Re: Using or not using PHP framework

2010-12-08 Thread Tommy Stomlien
To be honest. If you're not sure how much work it would be to migrate from Cake 
to a "normal" PHP application, then you obviously haven't worked enough with 
neither PHP nor CakePHP (or any framework for that matter).

 It is hard at the beginning, but there is an enormous return of time
 intested.
 see it as an advantage, that the documentation is not 100% clear, some
 parts could be better and so on and so on.
 But: all this hurdles will help you understanding the framework.

If you want to use a class, you can simply use it as a "vendor", and
then instantiate within the controller that you want to use, and

Migrating back to straight PHP might be quite a chore as you'd have an
awful lot of holes to fill in. I guess it depends on the size and
complexity of the app.

As for libraries, etc. I don't think there's any issue at all. It's
not difficult to create a wrapper for most (if not all) libraries.
Visit the Bakery [1] and you'll find quite a lot of wrappers people
have already built.

Hi all,

Thanks so much for your response.
Could you clarify on:
Some people say that while you are working with a framework you get
limited by the no of libraries developed for that framework and would
not be able to benefit from the large no of libraries that exist for
languages like PHP. So I wanted to know if at the stage of development
I feel that CakePHP is not working very fine for me and I want to
switch working with normal PHP language, can I migrate with my
application easily?

Re: Using or not using PHP framework

2010-12-06 Thread burzum
I disagree that you have to invest 100 hours learning in the begining
if you already know PHP.

When I started using CakePHP I migrated a project that was already two
month in development to CakePHP in just two weeks. Sure I did not
learn everything in this two weeks but it's easy to learn as you go in
my opinion and it worked out very well.

Well put, Rumkuchen.

One might also mention how much you will learn through the use of the
framework, interaction with the community, and studying the
contributed plugins.

Re: Using or not using PHP framework

2010-12-05 Thread Rumkuchen
invest 100 hours learning overhead at the beginning -> then you are as
fast as without cake.
invest another 50 hours of hard experience -> then you are 10 times
faster.
It is hard at the beginning, but there is an enormous return of time
intested.
see it as an advantage, that the documentation is not 100% clear, some
parts could be better and so on and so on.
But: all this hurdles will help you understanding the framework.

Funny, I first learned Ruby On Rails, too, and then dove into CakePHP
(because at my current job they don't know anything about a

struggles because I was used to the comfort of RoR and really missed

Likewise, and I completely agree.

I did dive into CakePHP some years ago and ended up being baffled and
confused because I didn't know anything about objects never mind MVC.

I got roped into doing a RoR project in a previous job, then I tackled
CakePHP again and I never code without a framework anymore

Re: Using or not using PHP framework

2010-12-02 Thread Joshua Muheim
I have stopped working without a framework in the background years
ago, and I only can recommend it. There's SO much stuff you don't even
know about that's handled by a good framework in the background (all
sorts of hacking-attempts is taken care of, for example), and with a
good plugin system your application can probably use great blocks of
code you've developed before or somebody else has already developed.

I only know CakePHP in the PHP world, so I'm not up to date what else
is on the market there, but CakePHP really seems to be a good
framework to start with. And what can't hurt, too, is to check out a
framework in another language from time to time... I can only suggest
you check out Ruby on Rails (Ruby), Django (Python) or Seaside
(Smalltalk). You can learn A LOT from such "other worlds". You will be
quite embarassed and feel like you have been "naive" before after
having done it. It's clearly an enlighting... Somehow it can be
compared to taking a virtual drug that opens your consciousness. LSD
for programmers! ;-)

Give it a try, you won't regret it for sure!

if you try with cake, you won't look back again cause once you got the tools
in you control..you rockkk !!!

anyway, if you want to switch back from cake to traditional way of doing
things in php, the format is still php and your code can be used, but you
need some MVC clean up if not using cake, except if you do mvc in your other
coding standart . . .
