A CakePHP developer is a Software Engineer who writes server-side web application logic with the CakePHP framework. They most commonly work on back-end components, connecting the application to various (usually third-party) web services and supporting the front-end developers in integrating their work with the application.
Yes, CakePHP is a good framework for many reasons. First of all, its MVC structure (Model-View-Controller) allows the development of business logic separately. Thus, it provides a tool for disciplined software engineering. Second, it contains a host of added security features, acting as an aid to the entire setup for web app development. Third, some advanced features include built-in support for unit tests and automatic mapping of objects to relational databases. Lastly, CakePHP is fully secure and lets you create user-friendly URLs and has in-package validation.
The difference between PHP and CakePHP is that PHP is a programming language, and CakePHP is a PHP framework. Built on top of PHP, CakePHP simplifies and enhances the development process.
