Welcome to the Cookbook, the manual for the CakePHP web application framework that makes developing a piece of cake!
This manual assumes that you have a general understanding of PHP and a basic understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP). Different functionality within the framework makes use of different technologies – such as SQL, JavaScript, and XML – and this manual does not attempt to explain those technologies, only how they are used in context.
