CakePHP vs Cocoa (OS X): What are the differences?

Developers describe CakePHP as "The Rapid Development Framework for PHP". CakePHP makes building web applications simpler, faster, while requiring less code. A modern PHP 7 framework offering a flexible database access layer and a powerful scaffolding system. On the other hand, Cocoa (OS X) is detailed as "The Cocoa frameworks consist of libraries, APIs, and runtimes that form the development layer for all of OS X". Much of Cocoa is implemented in Objective-C, an object-oriented language that is compiled to run at incredible speed, yet employs a truly dynamic runtime making it uniquely flexible. Because Objective-C is a superset of C, it is easy to mix C and even C++ into your Cocoa applications.

CakePHP and Cocoa (OS X) belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.

"Open source" is the top reason why over 34 developers like CakePHP, while over 2 developers mention "Great community " as the leading cause for choosing Cocoa (OS X).

CakePHP is an open source tool with 7.9K GitHub stars and 3.4K GitHub forks. Here's a link to CakePHP's open source repository on GitHub.

Hi all, I need to create a simple IoT interface application that connects the end device API with a GeoTab API. I am considering using Bubble due to its simple interface and configuration tools, but I fear it's too simple. We will want to add features and new devices as we grow - I was thinking of using CodeIgniter or CakePHP on a hosted site for the application. Must support JCOM encoding between the two APIs and there is no need for a separate interface as GeoTab already has one; we are just connecting and pushing data. Thoughts?

Hi, Which tool will you recommend:

I need to build a web application, oriented to small businesses, like a small ERP. It will have intensive use of Sql to access a PostgreSQL database. It has to be secure, as it will handle information on customers, sales, inventory.

If you think another tool will be better, please let that know.

Thanks a lot

Laravel and Postgres will be the better solutions you can add more like Redis for caching and React/Vue for the frontend.

Laravel works well in this context, you can build a secure and fast ERP using it with postgresql and all Laravel environment like caching, queues, jobs. And for frontend if you need productiviness I would go with Livewire to help
