Recently I've had the opportunity to read CakePHP 2 application Cookbook. As all my colleagues know, I've not used to PHP as a standard way of creating webs. But surprisingly, I was amazed by this framework.

The book explain a lot of useful recipes of doing the most and frequently tasks when we are developing. Jorge and James get its knowledge to the highest teaching with a clear and simple exposition everything you need to know to get success in your work. The code is everywhere and in every page, letting a little to the boring and long theory; moreover, pure theoretical explanations are very well balanced with the examples themself, as to give them the right and necessary support.

On the other hand, It lacks of a "how to do I" section for install the framework and It's needed a previous PHP experience to get full understanding of the lessons taught.

Finally, I must say that it's a excellent book to get started with Cake PHP and to get things done in a jiffy thanks to its convention-based power.
