Re: cakePHP beginner: first app; some questions

You should be able to scaffold A, B and C. D you'll have to code yourself.

Just a tip, setup the boolean column(s) as TINYINT(1) in your
database. Then CakePHP will treat them as Booleans (either true or
false). Which allows you to have a single Present column, and if
false, the user is considered 'not present'.
