I know PHP well. But i haven’t tried cakePHP before and i was willing to learn cakePHP. So just want to know that is there any benefits of using cakePHP over PHP?
Thanks,
aby
cakePHP, like CodeIgniter, FuelPHP and Symfony (just to name a few) are frameworks. What this means is that they have tried to abstract some of the normal, every-day things you do in development in an effort to speed up development time and make you more profitable.
In today’s world, there is no excuse for not using a framework. If you refuse to use a framework, you find yourself creating a lot of the things that a good framework provides anyway (i.e. data abstraction layers, session classes, form validation, etc). By using a framework, you not only gain time, but you gain stability as the different components of the framework should be designed to work well together and have been thoroughly tested by the community.
Whichever framework you choose is up to you and hopefully now you understand it’s benefits.
