Welcome. This is the beginning of my written journey through CakePHP.

I have been impressed with CakePHP so far testing various things, but as with any language there is sometimes an over vertical learning curve. What I would like to do with these notes, is to journal the steps I take getting things working and the underlying ideas that go toward some areas.

I am certainly no expert, but have written many programs in many diverse languages mainly on a hobby basis. I do understand most programming concepts and am interested in using CakePHP as the core platform to explore interfacing a database based web application.

You, as a reader of this blog, are most welcome to add your tuppence worth. I have no problem using other baker’s code and value your input and questions. As a one finger keyboard basher coding with speed is not an option and my vintage deems that things may happen a little slower.

The name of this blog? A Pavlova is a sugar and egg meringue type cake, like me, slightly crusty on the outside, but light and fluffy inside. No, after being taken with Lemoncake’s bakery on CakePHP, I thought a cake that has caused much controversy between Ockers and Kiwis might be in order since I live in NZ.
