Daniel I am using cake as a way to introduce OOP and MVC, some of my students have done Java and so have exposure to OOP, the others I am letting them expose themselves to cake and next term will go over what they have been doing in the 1st week or so as a theoretic summary.
I'll have to start writing the experience up anyhow as a case study in education ;-) John The manual is a starter, the IBM tutorials are good for that as well as they get their teeth into a step by step building of a small application. These students are diploma level and should be able to do self directed learning, with me guiding them. Well that the theory anyhow. This is a test semester to see what happens, and see how they cope with the more self directed mode.

I see the most importance when working in Cake (or any php framework) to really understand the MVC idea and the Object oriented methodology of coding. It is very frustrating and for that matter even unreasonable to learn Cake if one doesn't understand principles of OO. I hope your students don't have issues with that. It is very nice to hear, that you are teaching your students php using Cake.
