Workshop 1
summary
Three-hour hands‑on session builds a report Builder plugin for CakePHP from a blank composer project using ddev + CakePHP bake and a GitHub repo with a ready branch to skip steps. Workshop creates migrations, a plugin scaffold, AJAX navigation of associations, saveable association/column records, a custom comma-separated DB type for array storage, and widgets for integer and relative‑date filters; queries use contained selects with aliased fields and the demo shows reports running and filters applying successfully.
