Hi !! I am the newest here but i’m really curious in web development.
Would really love to reveal opinions on php development and improvement myself here.
Would like to be familiar with jake?
Which I have come to find out is virtually a link between Cakephp and Joomla?
How can these really merge and provide an impact to web development in php??

  Hi amber, if you want to learn web development, php is the best point to start. After you familiar with php, you can jump to using cms like wordpress or joomla, you can start to modify those cms. You have to know it is differs between cakephp and joomla. Joomla, wordpressand drupal is ready to use content management system. CakePHP,codeigniter is framework, you can using this framework to help you increasing the speed of your development, the best think of this cms is it use MVC (model View Controller) as pattern that keep your code clean and easy to update in the future. My suggestion, start to join web development community, you can find it on google groups. Im join cakephp and ruby on rails google groups. The community will help you to learn.
