Introducing CakeXT: Create slick single-page GUIs with CakePHP and ExtJs
Monday, August 17th, 2009Intro
Here at MYKITA we use CakePHP for keeping all the programming neat and tidy. It is a great framework for developing advanced web applications and it really helps you understanding your code even if you haven’t looked at it for a while.
CakePHP is a PHP framework so the focus of it is on delivering HTML pages … yes, there are Javascript helper and such, but after all, you’ll be dealing with standard web pages.
Enter ExtJS, a fantastic Javascript framework for creating user interfaces very close to what you might know from your standard desktop. Check out this or this demo if you want to see what I’m talking about … pretty cool, huh?
So wouldn’t it be nice if you could harness the powers of both frameworks and and combine the server-side benefits of Cake with the nice user interface features of Ext?
This is why I have created CakeXT, an extension that helps you glueing the two together.
When you’re finished with this tutorial, you’ll be able to create interfaces like the one below. Mind you, this is all HTML … not Flash, AIR or anything else.

We are really proud to be one of the brands sold in this unique UK-based online store
This is what they have to say for themselves…
oki-ni was born from the need to create something new and individual – seven years later this is still our main focus. To keep discovering and breaking the most interesting products and brands available in the market place and hosting them in an environment that resembles who and what we are. We are a group of young, enthused, product focused individuals that as a team are trying to create the most interesting and forward thinking retail/lifestyle experience on the planet. Our product mix and selection stems from a genuine interest in and knowledge of the producst and brands that fill our cyber shelves. We realise that the retail and product industry is littered with fakers and people who only want to make money. We are here, doing what we do for one reason only – because we love it. In fact, we can’t live without it. We constantly aim to update our mix and re-invent ourselves to keep you interested and well informed about what is going on and what’s available out there. We love product, music and style. It’s as simple as that.

Opening Ceremony brings together emerging American talent with both young and established designers and artists from abroad. Each year, the unique commercial and cultural character of a visiting city is represented at Opening Ceremony by capturing the essence of the consumer experience. Opening Ceremony recreates a shopping excursion based on four different perspectives–established designer (designers that best exemplify the country), emerging designer, one of a kind vintage pieces and select items from the open-air markets.
