Re: Is "Beginning CakePhp from novice to professional" still valid with CakePhp version 1.3.2?

There are more differences than that, but if you read the migration guide (http://book.cakephp.org/view/1561/Migrating-from-CakePHP-1-2-to-1-3) you'll very quickly be able to move on up. The book is the best out there (even though there are only three that I know of). I don't *think* that much of it stretches into any really complex areas where the sample code won't work either straightaway of with a few minor tweaks. I think the key thing is to change all references to $something->function to $this->Something->function (e.g. $form->create becomes $this->Form->create, $html->link becomes $this->Html->link, and so on).

Encountering incompatibilities is a good thing as it will make you examine, debug and fix the code, which is a much, much better way of learning than just copying, pasting and running code.

dev thing for sure, but I read the book :-/  But from what I gather
most of it should apply except the ajax stuff in the book where it
uses Jquery.  Which now can have the libraries imported just like
prototype.  Don't call me on it.  But that is what I gather.

Hi,

I am studying CakePhp on "Beginning CakePhp from novice to

professional" by Apress.

Instead of version 1.2.x, I downloaded and installed CakePhp version

1.3.2 to follow books' examples and tutorials.

Will I encounter incompatibilities?

I already read "migration from 1.2.x to 1.3" but I still don't have

the needed knowledge to understand if and where I will encounter

deprecated code.

Thanks you all!
