A couple technical details:
When using ‘=’ as a comparison operator, you actually don’t need to include it, as that is the default, so:

$this->User->findAll(array(‘User.firstname’ => ‘= Daniel’));
becomes
$this->User->findAll(array(‘User.firstname’ => ‘Daniel’));

Also, you can now use nested arrays for complex conditions, so:
$this->User->findAll(“User.firstname = ‘Daniel’ OR User.firstname = ‘Hugo’”);
could be
$this->User->findAll(array(‘or’ => array(“User.firstname” => ‘Daniel’), array(‘User.firstname = ‘Hugo’”)));
