Framework

Baking with CakePHP, care for a slice?

I've come to a point with my employer where it is no longer necessary to work full time on my current project. I anticipated that this would happen a few months ago, and my employer has caught on. The wonderful decision making by higher up in the company led to two development teams working on essentially the same product, but two versions of said product (it really baffles me, but it is what it is). So I'm on the second team, the one creating the product from scratch using PHP instead of classic ASP. The project lead decided to use a PHP Framework called CakePHP. After tinkering with it for a few hours, I'm impressed and inspired.

Starting fresh.... again

I consider myself to be a competent PHP, CSS, HTML, and JS developer as well as a perfectionist. To quote Adrian Monk: It's gift.... and a curse. This perfectionist gift/curse has helped and hindered me in the several years that I have coded in the mentioned languages. The gifts has brought about great results in the work that I have performed in the past that has made my clients happy with those results. The curse, however, has slowed down progress. Within the last year, I have started making a new framework or CMS at least three times and there is no end in sight for a number of reasons.
