Wow, the time moves forward really fast. It is already a year since I started this blog with the post “The first post or What is CakePHP?”. Since then a lot happened in the CakePHP world:
- the CakePHP Google group has grown from less then 1000 members to almost 3500 members
- the average number of people in the IRC channel has grown from around 20 to 90-100
- a manual has been written
- the bakery was started
- more than 80 projects were started on CakeForge
- around 1800 tickets were created
- several other CakePHP blogs/sites were started
Pretty cool!
I also want to use this opportunity to thank you for reading this blog, and for all the comments and links. That really motivates to write this blog :) Thank you.
And something I never asked yet: What do you want to read more often here, and what less? Thanks for your feedback!
Happy baking!
Btw: I created a new page where you can download my stuff (up to now these files where hidden somewhere in the archives *g*)

Happy birthday! I’ve been using CakePHP in my workplace for months, I don’t exactly know how long. It made my life easier and easier.
conragratulations. i can see you have posted good quality posts that can help cakephp bakers a lot. i have used cakePHP for 2 about months.it indeed make my life easier, but i found lack of documentation a serious issue. i think v1.2 has only API section for now and i cant find good ajax tutorials or manuals. i think its hard to start with ajax without proper documentation. So, i would like to read more often about these subjects.
thanks and keep up the good work.
[...] Oh and before I forget: A Happy New Year to all of you! (Sorry I didn’t care enough about Christmas to send out a greeting ^^). And also Happy Birthday to Daniel’s cakebaker blog that just turned 1 year old! [...]
Happy new year to you too and to all the cake dev team. You Made My Year (YMMY ™ )… I’ve been using cake for a full year (and 5 days) now on a project of mine. I downloaded Cake and started using it on the 24th of december 2005, if I trust my subversion log :)
What I would love to read : well you do it already so continue to have fun. I’m gonna be right here.
Really love you guys
Louis
