I want to start developing in an MVC framework, specifically CakePHP.
I see they have released 2.0.0-RC2 and was wondering if it is a waste of time to start an app in 1.3 when 2.0 is right around the corner. Should I start learning and developing in 2.0-RC2 rather as I’m guessing most of what I will learn in 1.3 now might become redundant soon?
Thank you.
I would advise against starting on a Release Candidate when you are new to the platform or programming pattern – mostly because you won’t know the difference between broken/missing functionality and your lack of knowledge.
Start with the stable build, then move to the new hotness once it has an official release.
