    About this ebook

    In Detail

    PHP is one of the most popular languages for building web sites and applications. While the Yii framework came a little bit later to the PHP scene, it has taken a lot of the best practices from around the Web and put it all into a single, awesome framework for making custom web apps.

    Yii 1.1 Application Development Starter is a straightforward, hands-on look at what is rapidly becoming one of the most revered frameworks for custom web application development. The Yii framework follows a tried and true object-oriented software development pattern called Model-View-Controller, making it quick and easy to build database driven applications.

    This book takes you through everything you need to know to get set up and rolling with the Yii framework. You will learn how to plan and start your application and how to take it where you want to go with the tools and extensions available with the Yii framework.

    This book will teach you how to build an application from the ground up, how to make sure you have everything you need in your hosting environment and get the Yii framework installed, how to create a strong relational database design, and how to set up model classes for your tables. You will also learn how to generate CRUD code to add/remove, view, and list records from your tables, then add custom routes, widgets, and extensions to make a robust application. Additionally, you will learn how to integrate authentication and role-based access permissions throughout your site.

    With this book, you will learn everything you need to get started with web application development using the Yii PHP framework.

    Approach

    Get to grips with a new technology, understand what it is and what it can do for you, and then get to work with the most important features and tasks.

    Who this book is for

    This book is aimed at developers with some basic programming experience and a general understanding of relational databases, or anyone who is ready to take their development to the next level with framework-driven development. A basic understanding of MySQL, PHP, HTML, and HTTP is expected.

    This book is dedicated to Joseph Fitzsimmons, because he has heard me explain quite a lot of things in recent years. Joe is a good friend who I have had the pleasure of watching and helping grow from someone fiddling with HTML to a degree-holding, up-and-coming web programmer. Joe embodies the target audience for this book, as he has the basis for technical understanding and is ready to take the next step into framework-driven development. This book was written largely by me pretending to be explaining things to Joe.

    Mark Safronov is a professional web application developer from the Russian Federation with experience and interest in a wide range of programming languages and technologies. He has built and participated in building different types of web applications, from purely computational ones to full-blown e-commerce sites. He is also a proponent of following the current best practices for test-first development and clean and maintainable code.

    He is currently employed at Clevertech, and is working on Yii-based PHP web applications and maintaining a quite popular
