I've got some nice articles on how to set it up with some downloadable code samples (sorry for the shameless plug). Maybe we should work together. Since your going from Rails -> CakePHP and I'm exploring in the opposite direction. One thing about CakePHP that I LOVE is the bake feature. It's user interactive, examines your models, asks questions about associations, builds your controllers, and views (based on said associations). As far as I can figure, Rails had the scaffold generator that did something similar, then in 2.0 they said "screw you lazy dudes"? That's quite a disappointment for me. Baking in Cake was by far the quickest way to learn the framework. If you have any Rails tips, I'd be interested. Auth is OK in CakePHP.

I ran through the change logs between 1.1 and 1.2, and you're right: a lot of good stuff went into 1.2 that made me say "cool!" or "yeah, I loved that in Rails." I'm looking forward to digging a bit deeper and messing around with Models as soon as I get a chance. Plus, I want to see how easy user authentication and stuff like that is over here compared with Rails or writing it yourself. Hey Baz,
