jQuery example overview

I just found a page from Mathias Bank with 50 jQuery examples. Might be interesting for anyone who is interested in using jQuery in CakePHP. Definitely worth a few of your minutes... or maybe more :)

HOWTO Use Zend Framework in CakePHP

This article will describe shortly how you can extend the power of CakePHP using the Zend Framework. I know, earlier this week I talked about war when writing about these two. But, reactions from Wil and Richard changed my mind a little bit. Richard mentioned about the possibility to use Zend Components within CakePHP. I tested this for myself and it took me only a few minutes.

Zend framework 1.5 released, good?

Zend has released version 1.5 of their framework. I must admit I never really tried it, but the release of the new version made me curious about it. My goal is to develop high quality web applications and I want to use DRYA (don't repeat yourself or another - just thought about that, why would anyone reinvent the weel). I just took a look at their press release and noticed that for at least one person his wildest dreams are coming true...

CakePHP RSS component and SMS component@the Bakery

A few days ago two interesting articles were posted at the Bakery. One is about an SMS component and another about an RSS component for use in CakePHP.

CakePHP 1.2 or 1.1, which version do you use?

I was wondering which version of CakePHP is mainstream right now. For about two or three months I started using CakePHP version 1.2 for all of my projects, and I know it is still in beta. I wouldn't use closed source software beta versions for projects like this, but the feeling that I can view and modify the code if necessary gives me enough trust bin 1.2. Of course, also the new options help in this decision.

CakePHP FAQ and Best Practices

So, a few months ago I added to pages to this website. One for a CakePHP FAQ and another to write something about CakePHP Best Practices, or what works best for me. I would like to have other people leave their answers or ideas too, so I am looking for an option to have those pages edited by everyone, like a Wiki.

CakePHP vs Zend Framework comparison

Chad wrote an interesting comparison between CakePHP and the Zend Framework. He has made an overview of the main differences between the both frameworks for now. My first look at his comparison was a little more points for the Zend Framework, but in his conclusion... Hmmm, I'm not gonna spoil this...

How to use $scripts_for_layout

Finally discovered how $scripts_for_layout works.

I have put

< ?php echo $javascript->link('jtip', false); ?>

in my view. False just means do not put it here, but put it where $scripts_for_layout is in my layout, so in the header.

Still looking for a way to have js scripts automatically included. It exists, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for... Anyone?

Nice Slideshare presentation about CakePHP

Can't get it shown here. But gwoo has a nice presentation about CakePHP 1.2. He gives you an overview of CakePHP and especially 1.2. Have a look at it, it's definitely worth your minutes and it will not hurt you.

New theme

Hi, I just changed to a new theme... I needed something fresh here. Soon I will add new posts here about CakePHP 1.2. I also included some new plugins (thanks to Joost de Valk). Thanks for the theme goes to http://www.nodethirtythree.com/.
