What you need for this book

You should have comprehensive knowledge of PHP, understanding of the object-oriented nature of the language, as well as the base syntax and language constructs. You will also need a basic understanding of the CakePHP framework, which, for this book, should be enough after having set up and configured the framework to work on a local server (we use a Linux environment throughout the content of the book). You should also have completed at least the blog tutorial included in the CakePHP documentation (http://book.cakephp.org).
