   CakePHP is a leading PHP-based web app development framework. When
   asking a question on forums or chat rooms, many CakePHP beginners get
   little help from the experts. Simple questions can get a response like,
   "Well, just read the online manual and API." Unfortunately, the online
   manual is depreciated, and who wants to absorb a programming language or
   framework from an API?Beginning CakePHP will do the following:
     - Leads you from a basic setup of CakePHP to building a couple
   applications that will highlight CakePHP's functionality and
   capabilities without delving too deeply into the PHP language, but
   rather what the CakePHP framework can offer the developer.
     - Teaches you to use CakePHP by incorporating advanced features into
   your web development projects.
     - Targets beginners of CakePHP or web frameworks in general as well as
   experienced developers with limited exposure to CakePHP. A secondary
   audience may include developers undecided on adopting CakePHP or
   business managers trying to assess the value of incorporating CakePHP
   into their toolbox.
   What you'll learn
     - Install and configure the CakePHP web framework.
     - Create your first CakePHP web application: to-do lists.
     - Progress by building a more complex blogging application.
     - Incorporate Ajax and Web 2.0 principles and techniques into your
   blogging and other CakePHP applications.
     - Apply these sample applications along with advanced techniques as a
   framework or template for building your own web applications with
   CakePHP going forward.
