A New Landmark in PHP Development Called CakePHP2429950
It wouldn't be wrong to say that PHP has been a piece of cake for the seasoned Object Oriented Programmers when they step into the world of web based application programming. The programmers who knew the basics of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language - a basic web based programming language that all the browsers understand) and a bit of C, C++, JAVA, .net or any other web based language were able to easily adapt their programming styles and standards to PHP and were able to program it. It uses some very simple commands that can be easily understood by an Object Oriented programmer and he can easily work on it.
After advent of PHP development, there were a lot of Open Source developments like Joomla being the most popular one. It had a lot of ready-made PHP scripts that people were able to easily plug and play into their websites. Starting from CMS (Content Management System) to E-commerce modules and up to social networking applications, all were having their own Open Sources which were freely available and could be downloaded by anyone for free and can be used for CMS, e-commerce or any other application as required. But still there used to be requirements for applications that were unique and apart from simple CMS or e-commerce. People either had to program an application from the scratch to meet those requirements or had to customize the existing open source which was very tedious and tactful. At times it used to take a lot more time than it would have taken to build it from scratch, so was not cost effective. Looking at these requirements a new framework called CakePHP was launched. CakePHP was a MVC (Model View Component) Architecture based framework, which was inspired from.Net or JAVA. Here the code used to remain separate from the forms and other programming. So it became a new neat and clean standard of PHP programming where it is easier to change the designs based on client requirements. From a simple to a complicated web based requirement, everything could be programmed using Cake PHP in an easy to understand and no complication format which it used to become, if we try to customize something on an Open Source or it happens when we try to start programming something from scratch in Core PHP.
In this architecture, the design related HTML files are kept completely separate from the program files. So the programmer can program easily in the programming files and the designer can do the required changes in design files and it won't conflict anyone. It also allows the independence where a programmer and a designer can work on the same project together at the same time.
