PHP: CakePHP
This was the very first framework I learned when I first learned PHP, and it has always just been so incredibly _easy_ to accomplish most common MVC tasks that I've stuck with it. I've become quite the expert in the framework over the years, even managing to make it bend quirky ways that it was not meant to in service of business goals. That has made me an extremely valuable resource for companies using the framework, and so I keep using it. Plus, I enjoy it immensely.
- bambax 4y agoThe cakePHP website uses (almost) white font on white background, doesn't work in Reader mode, and many links point to 404s (eg: https://api.cakephp.org/4.3/namespace-Controller.html https://api.cakephp.org/4.3/namespace-Controller.html)... Is it still maintained?
- mark_story 4y agoYes, CakePHP is still maintained. The API docs are something that is being worked on and, we'll get the 404s fixed soon. What browser are you having problems with in reader mode?
- bambax 4y agoFirefox doesn't show the Reader icon (right of the url bar). If trying to force reader mode with about:reader?url=https://cakephp.org/ it displays the error: Failed to load article from page As it is, the text in super light grey is completely unreadable.
- mark_story 4y agoInteresting, I've never seen this mode of firefox before. I checked a few other sites and they also had a 'Failed to load article from page' error. Do you have a link for a site that does work?
- bambax 4y agoIt usually works. Here's the 3rd link from HN home page right now for example about:reader?url=https://monicalent.com/blog/2019/06/03/absolute-truths-unlearned-as-junior-developer/
- mooreds 4y agoI wrote an application in cakephp before I learned rails. What a great framework. Plus, it's PHP, so easy to host anywhere.
- clairity 4y agowow, this takes me back. before cakephp, there was fusebox. i had started to write my own framework back then, but found fusebox to do most of what i'd wanted to do, so used it for a few projects. then cakephp came out as an iteration on the MVC pattern, and i switched immediately. only later did i discover rails, which was even more pleasant, as it sat atop ruby rather than php.
