My First Bite of Cake
2007-06-14 17:47:00 In my recent post “Never Lose the Desire to Learn” Matt Huggins left me a comment asking me which PHP framework I used when creating my own websites. Personally I have never used a framework. I’ve always started coding projects from scratch and well sometimes things can get messy that way. Matt recommended that I look into Cake PHP, a PHP framework designed for rapid development and that’s exactly what I’ve done. What is CakePHP? Cake is a rapid development framework for PHP which provides the groundwork for just about any application. The benefit to using a framework is that you can create huge applications while keeping them flexible enough to maintain and grow. Cake follows the MVC architecture which is not only powerful, but also logically separates your code.

It includes freelance work, salary jobs, commissions, etc. For some this may be the easier of the two income sources to tap initially because you can get right out there and start earning whereas passive income takes awhile to establish. Passive Income Passive income on the other hand is income that comes from sources that don’t require your direct involvement. In some cases to set them up might take some hard work and long hours, however once in place they follow the set it and forget it strategy for earning. Passive income is generally the more favored type of income simply because you can work less and earn just as much as an active income. Popular strategies for creating passive incom...
