I’m an experienced web developer who’s dabbled in code over the years, starting with ColdFusion, moving to ASP, and now with PHP, mostly in the context of WordPress.

After one ill-fated Ruby on Rails project, I was sold on the idea of frameworks but also on the appeal of going with a language I actually know moderately well. I wavered between CodeIgniter and CakePHP but eventually decided to give CakePHP a go based on what seems to be the general consensus: “CodeIgniter is a great starter framework but CakePHP is where the power and better code is.” (Don’t beat me up if I got it wrong!)

I’m working with CakePHP on a couple of small projects to get a feel for it, and am mostly finding it straightforward, with a few quirks. This blog is my virtual notebook to document the things I’ve learned (and especially the things I know I’m going to have a hard time finding again later when I need them!). If it helps you, too, all the better.

Oh, yeah, and my name is Sarah Lewis and for my day job, I’m a blog developer.
