Ever since my early college days, I've been a web junkie. While I've only had a small amount of formal programming training from my college classes, I'm primarily a self-taught web developer. My language of choice has been PHP, however I never fully grasped the whole OOP methodology, and I'm a rather traditional programmer.
Enter CakePHP.
CakePHP is a RAD (Rapid Application Development) framework similar to Ruby on Rails, only built in PHP. There are other RAD frameworks for PHP (Zend, Codeignitor), but I have several close friends and colleagues who develop in CakePHP and are active in the CakePHP community. We also use CakePHP in several of our in-house development projects, which I manage.
It's time for me to give the old brain some exercise and teach it some new tricks. I'm going to start experimenting with, playing with, and learning CakePHP. I've had several ideas bouncing around that I'd like to explore, and I feel that CakePHP should be able to get some of these projects rolling.
