CakePHP Beginner Friendly Question

[Demonic]

I recently was on IRC yesterday at CakePHP site and they was saying I could create an adminstration panel, well I don't see how I would do it because what I was basically planning on doing was using 2 primary files such as: index.php for main website stuff and admin.php for administration tasks, looking at the manual yesterday it would be smart to just use CakePHP for the complete project so I was wondering is the following setup for the website and admin panel possible with the CakePHP framework without problems and not having to do much?

Even though I read the basics of the cookbook for cake was wondering if you recommend any "offsite" (not on cakephp) tutorials that you would recommend me to start with?

probably not an "all the way through introduction tutorial", but I like the tutorials here when it comes to getting stuck into CakePHP:

You have all this stuff into cakephp cookbook. I think there is the point you're looking for http://book.cakephp.org/view/544/Prefix-Routing.

Am I wrong?
