CakePHP 3 for Beginners

Configure CakePHP 3.0 projects by managing config files in the config folder, bootstrapping the app, and using custom configuration files to read, consume, and dump keys.

Explore how CakePHP 3 handles request and response objects, exposing interfaces to access params, query data, and post data, while revealing current controller and action and client accepted content types.

Explore CakePHP components, core and custom, to share logic across controllers, load components in initialize, reuse in multiple actions, and even load at runtime for flexible design.

Set up a database connection in CakePHP 3, access the orders table, and perform CRUD operations using the low-level database access API and the query builder, including prepared statements.

Learn the CakePHP 3 query builder's fluent interface to create, read, update, and delete orders data, using find, insert, update, and delete methods and viewing results in a database browser.
