Giving Away A Free Copy Of CakePHP Application Development

cakephp-application-development

This giveaway has ended. Here's the winner.

I'm not sure if this is going to be frowned upon, but I'm giving away my review copy of CakePHP Application Development (reviewed here). I figure I don't have much use for it, so maybe someone else will benefit.

Book is in A+++ condition, adult owned, read once. I'll pay shipping. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post - although it would be cool if you signed up for my RSS feed or followed me on twitter. On ~~Feb 28th, 2009~~ Feb 16th, 2009 I'll run some fancy SQL and select one of the comments randomly.

If you already know Cake it probably isn't worth entering as the book is geared towards beginners. I know some of the core devs spend so much time coding the framework they probably couldn't code with the framework (you know who you are), but please refrain from entering.

Good luck!

I would love a copy of this! I a PHP programmer who has had very little experience with Frameworks and I've been wanting to get started with CakePHP for a while. A book like this would be perfect! :)

I'll pass on the book, but is there a draw for the bottle of Jameson ? A man needs a stiff drink once in a while ;-).

nate said on Feb 05, 2009

I'd like to join Joel in the running for the Jameson. Grazie.

Jeremy A. Snyder said on Feb 05, 2009

Thank you, would be great to have a book to force me to check out/learn CakePHP more.

Jeremy said on Feb 05, 2009

I'd definitely love the copy of the book as I've been messing around with cake for a while, but I still haven't really figured everything else out yet.

Pick me! Pick me! :-)

Hi Matt, i would also love to get this copy. Learning the basics is no that bad as sometimes suggested... Regards AxlF

I was actually thinking of buying this 2 days ago. I know CakePHP pretty well, but thought it would be a good idea to look at other peoples codes and examples.

develop said on Feb 06, 2009

I would like to have this book too :-) Maybe it will teach me to code in cleaner way.

Regards from MX :D

Maria said on Feb 06, 2009

I want it!! And the bottle!

Cody said on Feb 06, 2009

Been working with CakePHP for a little bit, would love the book to top things off! Would be hilarious to give the bottle of wine alongside the book, and see what creativity can come of it.

Anh said on Feb 06, 2009

I want it too ;-)

Haraball said on Feb 06, 2009

With this completely not funny comment I hope I'll win the book.

Erik Gyepes said on Feb 06, 2009

It would be great to own this one. Anyways nice pic of the book, is the bottle also included? :D

dave said on Feb 06, 2009

This would look great on my bookshelf (and the jameson will feel good in mah belly). Already subscribed to the RSS feed. thanks.

Manu said on Feb 06, 2009

I already have the PDF version, lost somewhere in one of my multiples backup cd's, but there's nothing best as paper ! Concrete is the best way to use it every day.

Alex said on Feb 06, 2009

Yay, free stuff!

Luke said on Feb 06, 2009

Yes please.

Pedro said on Feb 06, 2009

I will like to get one ;)

Brent said on Feb 06, 2009

I'm just getting into Zend but would love to try Cake too.

Colin said on Feb 06, 2009

I'm no beginner to CakePHP, but I'm trying to convince other developers at work to check it out. It would be great to get them out of 'tag soup' and into the world of MVC, and I think this book would really help. Thanks!

Anthony Hastings said on Feb 06, 2009

Pick me pick me! I need to learn Cake for upcoming projects in our design agency and I'd love this book!

Tim said on Feb 06, 2009

Yes please!

Boyd Pearson said on Feb 06, 2009

I like cake and i like php so im sure i will love Cake Php

bean said on Feb 06, 2009

I have been teaching standard PHP for a couple of years now and coding in it for five but I am a framework virgin! My students have been having more and more questions about CAKE. It would be nice if I could field a couple of them instead of always fielding them out.
I followed you on Twitter for extra cakey goodness.

Mhd Zaher Ghaibeh said on Feb 06, 2009

I would like to have this book too , since i start to study it :).
thank you ...

James said on Feb 07, 2009

I would like this book... been looking to get into a standard framework, all the FWOKs I've used so far have been custom built and homegrown.
Shiny!

Mazen said on Feb 07, 2009

what you are doing is great :P, and I would love to read this book :P

Joey said on Feb 07, 2009

Though I have been using PHP since 99 I still consider myself a newb because all of my projects have small personal pages and no professional experience (though I would love to do it professionally). I have never used a framework, just made my own for each project. I've been looking into frameworks a bit recently and wouldn't mind getting the book at all.
