Three books to help you learn CakePHP

26 Feb 2010 by tonie in General

In this post I'm going to create a summary of some books, which helped me get started with CakePHP and become a "baker". I will try to make a logical separation of the content by level of advancement/experience.

Before I start, I would like you to know that I'm in no way affiliated with anyone. I'm writing this post to help people who have chosen CakePHP as a part of their development environment and are looking for some read that's going to be useful as they start. I also assume that you already have basic, if not average or advanced knowledge of PHP and/or MySQL.

I friend shared that a good read is Apress' Beginning CakePHP From Novice To Professional, but as I skimmed through its contents and those of Packt's CakePHP Application Development, I figured my 30 bucks are gonna go for the latter. As both of these books are aimed towards beginners, if you are already familiar with Cake, there's another book from Packt, called Practical CakePHP Projects. So let's summarize:

There are a lot of online resources on the Internet, but a book will cover all of the stuff you need to get started. Personally, I own CakePHP application development, but I've skimmed through the other two as well and I think all of them are worth investing in.
