CakePHP is an open source MVC framework. It makes developing, deploying and maintaining applications much easier. CakePHP has number of libraries to reduce the overload of most common tasks. Following are the advantages of using CakePHP.
  • Open Source
  • MVC Framework
  • Templating Engine
  • Caching Operations
  • Search Engine Friendly URLs
  • Easy CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) Database Interactions.
  • Libraries and Helpers
  • Built-in Validation
  • Localization
  • Email, Cookie, Security, Session, and Request Handling Components
  • View Helpers for AJAX, JavaScript, HTML Forms and More

CakePHP Request Cycle

The following illustration describes how a Request Lifecycle works −
CakePHP Request Cycle
A typical CakePHP request cycle starts with a user requesting a page or resource in your application. At a high level, each request goes through the following steps −
  • The webserver rewrite rules direct the request to webroot/index.php.
  • Your application’s autoloader and bootstrap files are executed.
  • Any dispatch filters that are configured can handle the request, and optionally generate a response.
  • The dispatcher selects the appropriate controller & action based on routing rules.
  • The controller’s action is called and the controller interacts with the required Models and Components.
  • The controller delegates response creation to the View to generate the output resulting from the model data.
  • The view uses Helpers and Cells to generate the response body and headers.
  • The response is sent back to the client.

Android operating system is a stack of software components which is roughly divided into five sections and four main layers as shown below in the architecture diagram. Linux kernel At the bottom of the layers is Linux - Linux 3.6 with approximately 115 patches. This provides a level of abstraction between the device hardware and it contains all the essential hardware drivers like camera, keypad, display etc. Also, the kernel handles all the things that Linux is really good at such as networking and a vast array of device drivers, which take the pain out of interfacing to peripheral hardware. Libraries On top of Linux kernel there is a set of libraries including open-source Web browser engine WebKit, well known library libc, SQLite database which is a useful repository for storage and sharing of application data, libraries to play and record audio and video, SSL libraries responsible for Internet security etc. Android Libraries This category encompasses those Java-based li
C is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis M. Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories to develop the UNIX operating system. C is the most widely used computer language. It keeps fluctuating at number one scale of popularity along with Java programming language, which is also equally popular and most widely used among modern software programmers. Audience This tutorial is designed for software programmers with a need to understand the C programming language starting from scratch. This tutorial will give you enough understanding on C programming language from where you can take yourself to higher level of expertise. Prerequisites Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have a basic understanding of Computer Programming terminologies. A basic understanding of any of the programming languages will help you in understanding the C programming concepts and move fast on the learning track. Execute
C is a general-purpose, high-level language that was originally developed by Dennis M. Ritchie to develop the UNIX operating system at Bell Labs. C was originally first implemented on the DEC PDP-11 computer in 1972. In 1978, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie produced the first publicly available description of C, now known as the K&R standard. The UNIX operating system, the C compiler, and essentially all UNIX application programs have been written in C. C has now become a widely used professional language for various reasons − Easy to learn Structured language It produces efficient programs It can handle low-level activities It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms Facts about C C was invented to write an operating system called UNIX. C is a successor of B language which was introduced around the early 1970s. The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI). The UNIX OS was totally written in C. Today C
