Regardless of what anyone one thinks, I'm here partly by luck. I downloaded both Cake and CI. My initial decision was made in the first 10 minz. I could get Cake up and running but not CI. That's it. So cake it was. A lot of people say that Cake is more difficult to set up that CI, but I didn't find that.
The second and most important reason why I'm here is because I'm lazy!!!! After the initial setup, I started running through the tutorials. Simple enough. I love the automagic. Stuff just loads and it's just there. I didn't really like the "load this" and "load that" with CI. One thing I rather with CI is that all the files are PHP. I'm lazy and sometimes I need to dump stuff in Dreamweaver and make some tweaks. I'm sorry, I'm not one of these guys who designs in Notepad. I'm sorry. I need to SEE what's going on, so sometimes it would be nice to be able to just dump a view/element/layout in dreamweaver without having to rename files. BUT, I have to say it. The documentation. It's killing me. I guess if I knew more PHP I could fudge my way around, but that is precisely why I'm using Cake. I can "get things done" in PHP. However, it would take forever and probably not be as reliable as it would need to be. So once again, I apologize to the Cake community for my utter laziness, but CI got you guys beat on the documentation. Let's hope things change for the better after 1.2 goes beta. -- Baz L Day In The Life of Baz http://www.LifeOfBaz.com On 8/3/07, Geoff Ford <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > > Silly question to ask here - you going to get a bunch of Cake fans > saying that Cake is the best (which of course it is) :) > > As far as actually deciding which framework is for you, a useful tool > is the Frequent Discussions page. > http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/web/frequent-discussions > It shows alot of the common questions and problems that people face > when using cake. > > Geoff Ford > -- > http://lemoncake.wordpress.com > > On Aug 3, 11:18 am, walterbyrd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Aug 2, 2:46 pm, webmosher < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > CodeIgnitor is very similar to Cake in many aspects.
