Whilst trekking around the wilderness learning the ins and outs of CakePHP I have compiled a list of helpful CakePHP related sites that have gotten me through some tough times.

After spending so much time finding these resources I thought that I would compile them into a list and publish them.

1. Official CakePHP website: The number one source for CakePHP manuals, blogs, API’s, articles and tutorials.

2. Donutczar.com: Great information and examples on Helpers in CakePHP 1.2, a really good source for people who want a hand’s on and visual explanation.

3. cakebaker.42dh.com: Always has new and brilliant ideas for CakePHP applications and offers easy to understand and user-friendly tutorials.

4. ThinkingPHP: Although ThinkingPHP is an all-round PHP information site it also has a very helpful and detailed area dedicated to CakePHP. ThinkingPHP also monitors other popular CakePHP blogs and provides all the information in a common and easy to manage area.

5. Rolsoft.wordpress.com: The RolSoft Blog is an oldie, but a goodie! It has articles on integrating AJAX, speeding up SQL queries in CakePHP and much more. Most of the content is outdated, but it still serves to point people in the right direction and to offer food for thought.

6. Mariano Iglesias: Not only does this blog look amazing, it has buckets of information, everything from CakeFest information, CakePHP tips, framework write-ups and more. This is a a site that you will want to add to your favourites and your blog reader!

7. CakePHP Google Group: This is the official Google Code group for CakePHP and it has a large memberbase and has lots of information available. Sometimes it can be a little unwielding to find your way around, but once you have the hang of it you will be flying around in no time.

8. Tim Trice: This is a great blog that concentrates on articles aimed at the CakePHP beginner. With articles ranging from “What CakePHP can do” through to extending the CakePHP Blog tutorial.

9. CakePHP.nu: Another little CakePHP blog that had a couple of articles that really stood out to me. It is relativly new so there isn’t a great deal of content, but its more like quality over quantity.

10. In the Kitchen with CakePHP: This isn’t really a “site” as such but I thought it was worth a mention. “In the Kitchen with CakePHP” is a great tutorial for beginners who need a start to finish walkthrough of CakePHP and its features, it is also useful to have a read before selecting CakePHP as your framework of choice as it goes over many of the key features.

Well for now thats my 10 Helpful resources that got me out of some trouble, if you have any suggestions or comments then please feel free to post them below.
