Welcome to BakingPlate

BakingPlate assumes the following

• You know how to develop with CakePHP - you've read the book and been through the blog tutorial
• You have cake console installed (win | *nix)
• You're on reasonable terms with GIT, because we use submodules

Our Core Values

• BakingPlate is NOT a CMS
• The project doesn't install using a web interface (yet)
• The project doesn't get additional functionality via a web interface
• BakingPlate is a developer-oriented scaffolding system. It's for developers who want to expedite the development of their own code
• All ideas are good ideas!
• Although lately we've needed to review features before implementing them, we will try to give everything due consideration
• Don't obfuscate code
• This means we don't want to make it hard for you to figure out how BakingPlate works
• If you want to modify or disable anything you should not be hindered in figuring out how
• Functionality should be easily and quickly enabled/disabled
• Avoid creating complex configuration options and personal preference-based conventions
• Make your code versatile. Code shouldn't break under extremes, but at the very least degrade gracefully
• Everyone codes differently
• Support the community
• We try to use existing plugins and conventions that are already prevalent in CakePHP
• Try to avoid re-inventing the wheel. If a plugin isn't quite right, fork it, improve it and send a pull request.
