CakePHP makes you a better programmer. Seriously. Object Oriented books and tutorials are far too abstract; you really see the benefit in the real world with a framework like Cake. Code Igniter is great too, but if you make lazy mistakes, it will let you.
Ultimately the best framework is the one that allows you to build the best applications as quickly as possible. Performance tuning can be done in so many other more effective ways, it's not worth worrying about the 1% speed improvement your framework provides. The Cake API is the perfect documentation once you familiarize yourself with it. Would be nice to see all acceptable options params listed in there, but I understand why that's not realistic. But ask yourself why you want to learn Cake though; or why you should if you already know another framework well. That might be a better question. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
