Open Source CakePHP Components

I am getting more focused in my engineering career. Lately I have been feeling a strong desire to contribute to the open source community. Of course by open source community I mean contributing code and making it available to anyone who wants to use it… for free. As such, I decided to pick something I am passionate about. I have decided to create components, helpers, and other bits of code that are usable with the CakePHP framework. I have also decided to make these snippets of code available on GitHub.

Some of the code components I have released include:

• Domain Validation
• Email Validation
• Google Maps Address Geo Coordinates

I have also releases a simple GoogleMaps helper that will generate a self contained DIV with a GoogleMap v3 in it based on a series of points you pass.

I am still working on the documentation, but the code is freely available on my GitHub at:

http://github.com/cdburgess/

I will write more about each component in later posts. However, you will note that the Domain and Email validation components are CakePHP component implementations of the Domain and Email validation classes I have released on Google Code.

Happy Coding!
