Wow, didn’t expect that I would have to dig into CakePHP. There are all these nice Single Page Apps and Node.js discussions running, but because of a project which has been developed in PHP\/CakePHP over the past two years I herewith wholeheartedly jump into CakePHP to create some interesting experiments for draufhaber.tv.<\/p>\n
First things first: choose some tools<\/strong><\/p>\n To make everything exciting, I will learn a few new tools on the way.<\/p>\n Editor:<\/strong> ok, I will test Coda<\/a>. If I feel unhappy with Coda, I will battle it out between NetBeans<\/a>, TextMate<\/a> 2 alpha (long time favorite), Espresso<\/a> and Sublime<\/a> Text 2.<\/p>\n Database:<\/strong>\u00a0doing PHP, MySQL is obviously the default database. I am tempted to have a look at MongoDB, but for now I try to make things easy for the starting. So, there is always phpAdmin, but I think I will try to give MySQLWorkbench<\/a> a good look. After all, it looks a bit like beloved EOModeler<\/a>.<\/p>\n Test Deployment:\u00a0<\/strong>doing this on a Mac, MAMP<\/a> seems a good choice to run Apache, MySQL and PHP on a local install, duh! Cloud9<\/a> also looks promising, but I guess our deployment setup it way to complicated and custom for this.<\/p>\n
