Have a Taste for Faster Web Application Development? Try Cake.
If you’ve been hearing about Ruby on Rails, you’re probably wondering, hey, why can’t I do that with PHP? You can. Just use CakePHP which is based on Rails.
It’s still young, but it’s pretty neat. I’ve been working in it for the last day or so and have to say that it’s been fun to work with. It handles so much messiness in the background that I’m sold.
It has some imperfections (apparently a performance bottle neck or two, nothing earth shattering), but I’m guessing those will work themselves out in the next couple of releases.
