The Gift of CakePhp 1.2 final
Today, the history of the CakePHP grows stronger. December 25, 2008 will be remembered as one of the most important points in this history. After exactly 2 yrs from the first development release, we can happily say we have the most stable and powerful web framework available. Please enjoy our big present to you, CakePHP 1.2 stable
After you have installed it you can create applications with Firebird just like the Blog example (follow the comments for firebird tips)
You can follow an Firebird+Nginx tutorial
Cakephp tutorial for Ubuntu Firebird and Nginx
This tutorial will walk you through the creation of a simple blog application. We’ll be getting and installing Cake, creating and configuring a database, and creating enough application logic to list, add, edit, and delete blog posts.
What is needed : Firebird ,Ubuntu , Nginx and Php but it should work with any other server (apache, lighttpd)
Firebird do you hear the cries of your PHP users?
Do they exist? Do they make you money (or in the case of Firebird meaningfully extend your community)? Would you be unhappy if support would be dropped in PHP 5.3, in PHP 6.0? Do you have ressources to prevent this from happening, by taking ownership of the code in question?
Installing phpBB3 on Firebird and Ubuntu server
Firebird Experts Forum – fastest forum i have ever seen is powered by firebird

Me on Marc Fleury on Sun purchase of MySQL – replaceable lamp bricks
The last post was supposed to be this one, but I got distracted on how I found it
“Whether you’re using Postgres, SQLite, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, HSQLD, Firebird, Derby, or whatever, you’re benefiting from the popularity of MySQL. If you’re still using Progress, dBase, or Sybase, maybe not.
My point is that MySQL did for databases what Netscape did for the internet, what Apache did for web servers, what Star Office did for alternate word processors, what Sendmail did for email servers, and what JBoss did for J2EE.”
[ED Here is my reply :Bricks can be replaced in the lamp
Why they always forget the MTA or DNS?
They are critical parts of the clusters
Sendmail is replaced by postfix or qmail if you are a sane person (in ubuntu postfix is by default)
Apache is replaced by lighttpd and nginix – better webservers IMHO
mysql by firebird or postgresql
linux kernel is good enough and is better than win or solaris (if you want wamp or samp)
php can be replaced by ruby or perl or python (if it becames bloated like java in version 6.x) ]
