I just started using CakePHP and it’s very different from just normal procedural or basic OOP PHP.
I am still learning PHP and still read “beginning PHP/mysql” books that teaches you basic PHP. Also lots of sites online provide code that isn’t for a framework.
Is the only way to make non-framework code to say a framework, say cakePHP, by learning cakePHP thoroughly than rewriting the code yourself to fit the MVC model?
I think it would be beneficial to learn basic OOP PHP thoroughly before learning CakePHP. I admit Cake is a little restricting about naming conventions but you can customize this to your liking. I would try to rewrite a small PHP application in Cake to get familiar with it. Choosing a MVC framework does save a lot of development time if you take the time to learn on well. For Cakephp the book and API are two very valuable tools. I also suggest using Cakephp 1.3.
