What is CakePHP?
CakePHP is an open source web framework for the traditional web language, PHP.
Cake PHP framework follows the model-view-controller (MVC) approach. MVC is an
architectural pattern for developing and implementing the user interface on the
web. The CakePHP framework is of course written in the PHP language. In fact, PHP
follows many of the concepts from the framework Ruby on Rails.
Here at Codal, a ​UX design and development agency​, we use CakePHP in many of
our projects.
Overall, CakePHP is simplifies the process of developing a web application; it
requires much less code, and will take a lot less time.
CakePHP makes building web applications simpler, faster, while requiring less code.
Their motto is “​Build fast, grow solid with CakePHP​” and this couldn’t be anymore
accurate.
Why Use CakePHP?
As a web and ​mobile app dev agency in Chicago​, we’re always using new
frameworks, and testing the latest code. You may be wondering why you, or we
would choose to use CakePHP on a project. Well, here’s why:
Developer Efficiency:
CakePHP allows us, as a group of ​developers in Chicago​, to code as fast and
efficient as possible. It requires any developer to write a bit less code, with still
achieving the same goal in the end.
Open Source Community:
CakePHP is an open source framework of PHP. The open source community of
CakePHP is extremely active and friendly.

2. Flexibility:
Flexibility all around. The liscensing is flexible, flexible caching, and flexible (and
fast) templating and lastly, flexible ACL/permissions.
Releases:
As a ​software development agency​, a consistent release cycle is obviously
important, and that is something that CakePHP does well on.
