Hi, I'm currently working with 2.3.10 and all my questions are also about that version. I'm waiting to make the switch to 3 until that one is ok for production since I have to get things live for clients and I don't have much time left for experimenting yet.
As said I'm not an 'expert' programmer and when I'm talking about a 'more advanced alternative' I'm talking about what I read from people who compare CakePHP with Laravel. Since I'm a real perfectionist in a lot of things I like to use the Cake code as close to the manual as possible. But up till now it seems that I still learn new things everyday which I didn't see before in the manual (or at least I might have read them but didn't make a link with a real life usage) therefor I think (for me) it's best practice to learn the new 3.0 book from scratch. But as mentioned before then I end up with the question if it might be a good idea to make the switch like (apparently) lots of others are making?
