Re: Cake 2: Very confusing docs/tutorials... Is there another foolproof source?

I have to agree with the above comments about trying to find real examples with cakephp 2.x.

The cakephp youtube channel doesn't give you any video examples on simple concepts.

The documentation has a lot of useful information, but little examples to put them into action.

Doing the blog tutorial example was pretty quick and easy.  Adding authentication the Andrew perkins
youtube videos were good. 

But seriously Cakephp you need to develop some real world simple examples.  Cause its frustrating
as a php developer to be attempting to figure out how to properly code inside of cakephp's framework.

I read the documentation, the bakery, youtube videos, google for tutorials. 

But can I find a simple menu building example ?
How to build an admin section with proper routing ?
How to connection with hasOne, hasMany ?
Building a category tree that lists products in each level with paging ?

Oh I have read over Mark Story's Tree Behavior article and attempted to install his "Tools" plugin ..
but trying to get a working example .... sigh.   Should I really have to install someone else's plugin
to build a category system in a website ?

Quite the frustration is trying to learn this framework ... spinning my wheels.

Yes I tried the irc channel and basically the first person to respond made me feel like an idiot ... not impressed
and then basically linked a bunch of the book.cakephp.org sections .. which I have already read that don't give a proper working example or stop just short of the basic functionality.
