As mentioned in my last post, I tried out CakePHP, which is a PHP framework for web development.  I like a lot of the ideas of it, and the structure it provides.  But, it seems to not have enough of a user base to have a substantial “ecosystem”, which Laravel has.  So, I’m giving a Laravel a try, which seems to do all the right things, and there seems to be more support available for new users, which is nice.
