Can someone explain to a beginner how to build an admin area?

I've set up the 1.3.3 version and trying to figure out how this whole
routing thing works. Is there any good up to date tutorial on creating
an admin area? I've gotten so far as to be able to do the CLI bake
that creates a decent CRUD, but I've not been able to grasp this whole
routing thing where I could have something like a content page at /
page/ and then an admin page for the content at something like /admin/
page/

I've read some similar things where others are mystified enough to
actually build a subdomain to handle all the admin stuff. That seems
counter productive but I'm finding that there is so little to
encourage people new to cakephp I can see why they are doing this.

Are there some tutorials that are geared more toward beginners but a
little more in depth than the blog tutorial?

I'm just wondering what most people do. There's this wonderful bake
feature that is very appealing to a beginner like me, but I can't find
any good explanation or example of how to use routing to create an
admin area.
