In Detail

The Yii framework is a high-performance, fast, open source, and a rapid development PHP framework that can be used to develop modern web applications. It provides the toolkit for developing both personal projects and enterprise applications. Yii's component-based architecture lets developers build modules so that they aren't customizing the underlying code base and so that anything they build is easy to use in different projects.

This book is a step-by-step guide to developing reusable real-world applications using the Yii framework. The book will guide you through several projects from the project conception through to planning your project and implementation. You will explore the key features of the framework and learn how to use it efficiently and effectively to build solid core applications that you'll be able to reuse in real-world projects. At the end of each project, you'll have a better understanding of Yii and a working application that you can use in the future.
