Hi guys, I'm working as a web developer now, and I've been trying to convince the directors of the company that using some open-source libraries to build our sites would be a good move. I've almost managed to convince them that having a template engine is a good idea - with demonstrations of what I've managed to build myself. From that, I've extended the idea of using Smarty for future projects...
...but that led me to thinking, the primary benefits of Smarty are to separate content from presentation - why not go the whole hog and use Cake? I've been here for a while myself, I think Cake is fantastic and so far I've been frustrated that I couldn't just use it for work-related projects. What they're asking for though is what the advantages and disadvantages are of adopting this sort of system. I can probably come up with most of them by myself anyway, but if anyone can suggest any, I'd be very pleased to hear them :) As an aside, the MIT license Cake uses - am I right in thinking it allows use in commercial software (specifically the sort of large websites we'll be building with it, which of course we're charging for)? We'll probably have to encode the files as well if only to prevent our clients from breaking the system... Thanks in advance for any advice :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
