The Horizons of CakePHP Application Development

Posted on by Jay

CakePHP is an open-source web development framework for PHP. It came into prominence around 2006 and it was inspired by the Ruby on Rails framework, which was introduced around a year prior to it.

CakePHP follows MVC pattern architecture. Like RoR, it also follows the two key design features, DRY or “Don’t Repeat Yourself” and CoC or “Convention over Configuration”.

CakePHP development is a rapid development framework with thoughtful, coherent design and is well aided by friendly community contributions. It relies on a ORM (Object-Relation Model) regarding database query interface.

Using CakePHP’s ORM, we can create, retrieve, update and delete related data into and from different database tables with simplicity and in a better way. There is no need to write complex SQL queries anymore.

Some of the key features of CakePHP are:

  • Flexible Licensing
  • Compatibility with PHP4 and PHP5
  • Integrated CRUD for database interaction and simplified queries
  • Application Scaffolding
  • Request dispatcher with good looking, custom URLs
  • Built-in Validation
  • Fast and flexible templating (PHP syntax, with helpers)
  • View Helpers for AJAX, JavaScript, HTML Forms and more
  • Security, Session, and Request Handling Components
  • Flexible access control lists
  • Data Sanitization
  • Flexible View Caching

The Era of Ruby on Rails Development

rails_image1With the advent of Ruby on Rails around 2006, it has revolutionized the sphere of web development.

Built on MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, this relatively new technology in the field of web development has appealed to numerous developers.

Programmers, who were accustomed to writing thousands of lines codes in technologies like PHP and JAVA, were spellbound by this framework agility and features to create a full-fledged database-backed application within a few hundred lines of code.

An application which normally would have taken months or even years to complete, can now not only be wrapped up within days and months but also with considerably less number of developers.

Rails is backed up by the powerful object-oriented language Ruby, on which it is based. It also leverages the extensive patronage of Ruby for meta-programming.

It makes optimum use of code generation features, which eases out to complete applications and promote agile programming techniques.

Rails development is also unique in the field of web application because it makes use of two key design features which are DRY or “Don’t Repeat Yourself” and CoC or “Convention over Configuration”.

Agile Development Methodology, combined with DRY and CoC, not only helps ruby on rails engineer’s to develop dynamic web applications economically, in less time & code but also facilitates code reusability in the development process.
