Thank you all for the great responses. Basically the book was based on the 1.2 beta release. But just like Dave, had to get in the changes for 1.2 RC1 at the last minute. :)
And yes I agree with Dave, finally the Cake community will have, not one, but many books to choose from and use. The more choice, the better for the community. I congratulate Dave on his efforts with his book, now that I know what effort it takes to write a book ;) Basically in our book we focused more on practical examples. It has three sections, with total of 12 chapters. The first section is an introduction to CakePHP where we discuss the goodies of Cakephp, how to install it and then go on to make a quick but complete web app. The second section goes on to discuss the parts of Cakephp in details. There are separate chapters that discusses all the details of using models, controllers and views. There is also a chapter on baking. The last section goes on to making a complete web application using CakePHP. It discusses how to integrate custom layout, how to built authentication, how to use the Ajax and the Javascript helper, and many other aspects of CakePHP. Basically this section is very practical oriented, with lots of code and their explanation. So, in short, that is an overview of the book. If you are new to Cakephp, or are interested to learn it, this book is a good book to start in my opinion. :) Thanks again :) On Jul 17, 12:47 pm, Dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thought mine was first (in English) too ;) > > In my defense, I was able to get 1.2 RC1 changes in the manuscript at > the last second, and the publication date was set back in December, so > we got beat to the punch by a couple of days.
