Over on the ThinkingPHP Blog, Felix Geisendorfer has posted several items to his blog in a his series of Ten Days of Free Dessert with some useful tips about using the CakePHP Framework.

I'm announcing the "10 Days of free Dessert!". This basically means that I'll post at least 1 useful and easy to adapt CakePHP tip begining tomorrow for the next 10 days. I will try to pick things you might not have heard before and that didn't get a lot of loving from the docs team so far.

Here's the listing so far:

• The 7 Crucials of CRUD
• Become Friends with the Inflector
• Generate a Random Password
• Keep Your Cake Fresh (use SVN HEAD)
• Keep a Custom Configuration File
• MySQL & UTF-8
• Conventions over Ego
• Render Custom Errors
• Graceful Error Handling
• Default Models, Components, and Helpers
• Welcome back, Friendly URLs
• Debugging requestAction
• A Simple Config Model The New XML Class

Each of the posts contains a description of the feature and some code to show how it's done. It's a great, handy little series of posts for any CakePHP developer to keep in their toolkit to pull from later on.
