Recently I’ve been using CakePHP quite a bit, but prior to the large projects I had to undertake, because of how the projects I’d worked on previously had been somewhat small in scale, I didn’t have much experience using it in more irregular scenarios. Lately, however, I’ve been pushed a lot more and have been thrown in to the deep end if you will, of CakePHP. Dealing with topics like caching, security, and integration with APIs and vendors, I learnt a lot in a short amount of time. Therefore, I’m going to list a few of the things that I found helpful, so that maybe I can save someone some time in searching for the answers that took me long enough on my own.
