This case study explores one such implementation with WikkaWiki.

In a typical 9-5 job this would amount to about a week and a half.

Passenger capacities are up to about 1900 per cruise. In addition to allowing users to search for and book cruises online, the site also offers flights from about 20 UK airports, and stays in about 20 hotels in Majorca. There are also loads more features that complement the core functionality. Take a look around the site to see what I mean.

This one-man creation written in PHP using Cake has unique features such as: drag-n-drop uploads and no maximum file-size (7GB DVD image is the largest uploaded to date). Without CakePHP it would not exist.
