About the Authors

Jorge González has a degree in Computer Science and Engineering as well as extensive experience in different positions from development to consulting and management, allowing him to quickly understand problems and provide effective solutions. He started using CakePHP many years ago and has never looked back since, applying the framework to several projects and domains, specifically, the hospitality and tourism sector, where he has worked for over 8 years before joining the Cake Development Corporation (CakeDC). He also runs the official CakePHP standard training course for the Cake Software Foundation and the basic workshop at CakeFest since 2013.

This book is dedicated to the girls in my life: my mother, Ana, and my wife, Kathrin. Thank you for your endless love and support.

I'd also like to thank Larry Masters and José Lorenzo for giving me the opportunity to start working in CakeDC, the best team and the best people I've ever met.

James Watts is an experienced enterprise PHP architect, with a long track record in open source development. He is a core member of CakePHP and also handles community efforts, such as organizing CakeFest, the annual conference dedicated to the framework. He has also authored various technical specifications such as the Extended Hypertext Transfer Protocol (XHTTP) and the Documentation Markup Language (DocML). Professionally, he is the acting director of the Cake Development Corporation (CakeDC), the commercial entity behind the framework, where he works alongside Larry Masters, the founder of CakePHP.

It's impossible to not thank the CakePHP community around the world for making the project what it is today. I would also like to thank Larry Masters, Mark Story, Jose Lorenzo, Andy Dawson, Mark Scherer, Adnan Sarela, Marc Ypes, Jose Gonzalez, Christian Winther, Rachman Chavik, Juan Basso, Renan Gonçalves, Pierre Martin, Marc Würth, Bryan Crowe, and the rest of the core team and amazing people who have come and gone, and dedicated their time and passion to the framework; you guys are truly awesome.

I also want to thank my beautiful wife, Laura, for supporting me at every step of the way, and also our baby (work in progress), who, when born, will become the most important project in my life.
