Develop, maintain and deploy unique web applications in CakePHP using Packt's new book

Packt is proud to announce CakePHP 1.3 Application Development Cookbook, a new book that will help developers to create elegant and scalable web applications using CakePHP. Written by Mariano Iglesias, this book will teach developers to leverage their find operations with virtual fields, ad-hoc queries and custom find types, whilst adding full internationalization support to their application.

CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP that provides an extensible architecture for developing, maintaining, and deploying applications. It is written in PHP, modeled after the concepts of Ruby on Rails, and commonly uses known design patterns like MVC and ORM within the convention over configuration paradigm.

CakePHP 1.3 Application Development Cookbook has several recipes that will help users to develop web applications, while leveraging the CakePHP features that would allow them to build robust and complex applications. Furthermore, this book will take users through a series of recipes that will show them how to change the way bindings are fetched, what bindings and what information from a binding is returned, how to create new bindings and how to build hierarchical data structures.

This book will teach readers to implement their own datasource by providing a way to read from and post messages to a twitter account using OAuth, while also demonstrating how to modify an existing datasource by adding better transaction support to the MySQL driver. Additionally, amongst several in depth topics, readers will learn to add authentication to an application, perform relatively complex GROUP and COUNT queries, and add multiple validation rules per field.

Packed with over 70 great recipes and useful step-by-step instructions, this book is ideal for CakePHP developers, who possess knowledge of CakePHP and general PHP development skills and wish to discover quick and easy ways to improve their applications. The book is out now and available from Packt. For more information please visit:- www.packtpub.com/cakephp-1-3-application-development-cookbook/book
