Re: How to appreciate cakePHP - try the Zend Framework quickstart

Zend focuses on extendability and configuration, while CakePHP focuses
on convention and rapid deployment. They each have their strengths and
weaknesses. If you want complete control over directory structure, MVC
operation, included libraries, and all of that stuff, then Zend is a
perfectly good choice. But if you're happy with sticking to rigid
conventions and sacrificing some control for speed, then Cake is
definitely the way to go.

Cake and Zend just approach frameworks in different ways. I can tell
you one thing, though: reading and understanding Zend's code is a good
exercise. It's dense and modern (PHP5+).
