Creating an Admin Section with CakePHP Updated

My previous post on this topic is the most viewed article on the website so I thought I would re-visit it and do it all again using the latest version of Cake which at the time of writing is 1.2.3.8166

I'm going to be using a similar method as last time but a lot more refined, mainly because I'm improving as a programmer and that I'm getting more familiar with CakePHP and the best practises with using it.
