My Question: What are some good examples of design patterns used in CakePHP? Why Use CakePHP As My Context I've been using CakePHP for about a year so I think it's easier for me to think in that context. CakePHP is also rich in design pattern use (I'm confident of that)--I just don't know what patterns are being used other than a few obvious ones. Example Books I've been Reading On the Subject: I'm reading the following books which all cover design patterns to one extent or another; unfortunately they mostly use Java and C++ code examples which makes it harder for me to get a grip on the design patterns on a practical level (I'm a PHP developer so its hard for me to absorb it): "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture" , by Martin Fowler "Head First Design Patterns" , by Gang of Four (Eric Freeman, Elisabeth Freeman, Kathy Sierra & Bert Bates) (2004) "Design Patterns: Elements of Resuable Object Oriented Software)" , by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides) Examples of Patterns I Can Observe in CakePHP -I'm guessing the config file uses something akin to the factory pattern -maybe $this->params is using something related to the observer pattern? I'm not sure on that... -MVC (obvious! since Cake PHP uses the MVC file structure) -ORM (another very obvious one) -Maybe the HTML helper is using the decorator pattern? Summary I don't expect anyone to go down the line and identify all the patterns used in CakePHP--I'm just looking for a few examples of design patterns that should be obvious that I'm missing.
