only got into baking very recently, and while there are lots of promises how 'supersimple' everything is with cake i still havent found the most basic fundamentals of how its actually working.
is there anybody who can answer these simple questions - they would help me getting a long way into actually really using cake instead of just pasting & modifying codesnippets from other sources : 1. Where are the objects ?? I see lots of classes but no instances of them.Yes, there is '$this', but it doesnt count since its a reference to an actual object, which, as far as i could see in all the tutorials, doesnt exist yet. 2. I see of a static parent::method and variable, i see variables that are handled via arrays, but where are object references ?? 3. also havent come across a protected method in any tutorial yet. Why is that - just by chance ? or did i not look well enough. So. In order to use the structure it is essential to know whats actually going on. 'sentences like 'cake' does this or that dont help, btw. escpecially since i have no clue who the hell 'cake' is :). I hope that these questions are easily answered in no cookbook style :) The cookbook is going into details of functionality before the basic structure is clarified. It repeats itself with cake makes this and that easy for you, but what i a always missing, is : how, does cake do it. Yes the codesnippets are easy, yes the conventions are great, yes the MVC structure is cool, and yes i'm sure cake can do it. Is there a reference maybe, or a clear and simple model of how it does these things, so that beginners with cake dont need to try and make 'cake' do things in ways that it wasnt designed for ?
