CakePHP is an open-source web framework. It follows the model–view–controller (MVC) approach and is written in PHP, modeled after the concepts of Ruby on Rails, and distributed under the MIT License.[2]

CakePHP uses well-known software engineering concepts and software design patterns, such as convention over configuration, model–view–controller, active record, association data mapping, and front controller.

CakePHP started in April 2005, when a Polish programmer Michal Tatarynowicz[3] wrote a minimal version of a rapid application development framework in PHP, dubbing it Cake.[4][5][6] He published the framework under the MIT license, and opened it up to the online community of developers. In December 2005, L. Masters and G. J. Woodworth founded the Cake Software Foundation to promote development related to CakePHP.[6] Version 1.0 was released in May 2006.

One of the project's inspirations was Ruby on Rails, using many of its concepts. The community has since grown and spawned several sub-projects.[7][8]

In October 2009, project manager Woodworth and developer N. Abele resigned from the project to focus on their own projects, including the Lithium web framework (previously part of the CakePHP project). The remaining development team continued to focus on the original roadmap that was previously defined.[9]

CakePHP Core Team

CakePHP is developed and maintained by the community - as well as a dedicated core team of developers, led by Mark Story.

Cake Development Corporation (CakeDC)

Established in 2007 by Larry Masters, founder of CakePHP, Cake Development Corporation is the commercial entity behind the framework. CakeDC supports CakePHP through financial funding, OS development support and resources.

Conferences

The Cake Software Foundation operates an annual Conference focusing on CakePHP called CakeFest. It was initially held as a bi-annual event in 2008.[citation needed]
