I think the question should have "Hello World" in it, and the answer should have a link to the blog tutorial. This would:
1. Help search engines find this question, I doubt many people search for "bake a cake" when trying to create a Hello World applictaion. 2. Help new users who don't know what baking a cake means. Nor do they care, I don't think. I didn't care. When talking to someone new you should really speak thier language, not yours. Q: How do I create a "Hello World" type site with CakePHP? A: A great place to start would be our simple Blog Creation Tutorial[link]. It will walk you through creating a basic site that interacts with your database. -rtconner On Mar 9, 4:23 pm, "Sam Sherlock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1: Make a Hello World Application. > > Yep and perhaps the title should be > > "We knew you were coming so we baked a cake!" > > then links to documentation, faq's > > furthermore how about > > An example app could be a included with the download ready to copy to an app > > directory and sql to insert with phpmyadmin. > > this app would display documentation for cakePHP and credits to the core > minds of cakePHP. > it could be a simple interactive demo which a newbie to cake would be > invited and code to edit and where it is and you can delete and reinstall it > - great for trial and error > > On 09/03/07, rtconner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I'm pretty much a noob.
