Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Anyone actually *using* a framework?

[Larry G. <lga...@gm...>]

Thank you for volunteering to give a presentation on CakePHP at an upcoming
meeting! :-)  Let us know when.

I'm going to be doing some research into frameworks in the next week or two,
as we need to pick one at work to use for a major project and writing our
own is way way way out of budget. :-)  Cake is one of the ones I want to
look at, but haven't gotten into it yet.  Any information you can provide
about it (esp. what it's specifically good for and specifically NOT good
for) would be helpful.

Cheers.
