whats a good text editor for cakephp? Im on a window pc

[andrewperk]

@adrianchen19888 Window's has a lot of choices for text editors. jEdit, Komodo Edit, Sublime Text, E-text editor, notepad++. I like using Komodo Edit now with texter to make my own tab trigger text expanders for code snippets similar to textmate on a mac. I also like aptana 3 (IDE) as well because of how you can just hit tab and it moves outside of curly brackets, parenthesis, you dont have to use arrows to move through your code. Aptana 3 also has some really nice color themes as well.

is cakephp better than Codeigniter ? in a top list of the better php frameworks , i saw codeigniter bellow cakephp (cause it says that cakephp is better in authetication) is that true ?

[andrewperk]

@dennis3380 Codeigniter is an excellent framework. It's very easy to use and is simpler than Cakephp is. I wouldn't say Cake or Codeigniter is better than the other. I chose Cakephp because of its built in ORM (it handles all table relationships for you and pulls in related data on queries, this is the main reason I chose cake), ACL, and the Auth component.

is it the same process when using mac OSX???

[andrewperk]

@prince143 I don't use a mac everyday. I believe the majority of things should be the same. All of the cakephp specific file settings such as the database.php file, the core.php, security.salt, cipherseed should all be the same regardless of mac or pc. You'll probably have a different php/mysql/apache environment than WAMP most likely MAMP or something similar. Let me know if you have any problems and I'll see if I can help.

Andrew thank you so much for this video. It is very helpful. You are right. CakePHP is very intimidating and the documented tutorial was out of date. You're the man!
