These are the list of add-ons that are installed by default in my Firefox Browser. Firebug – absolutely the best way to debug javascript (and therefore also ajax)…
I’ve always setup a new CakePHP project by extracting the current stable build into a project directory and editing the core.php and database.php files manually.

If you are like me, you prefer to have a specific url mapped to your applications control panel/backend etc. This is usually something along the lines of www.url.com/admin or www.url.com/cms. Normally during the CakePHP “bake” process, the system will ask you what you want your admin route to be (default “admin”). Once this has been…
