Let me introduce to you something, Yii. Some here know it, but if you don't, Yii is is a very flexible and high-performance application development framework written in PHP. It helps building web applications, from small to large-scale enterprise applications. The framework name stands for Yes It Is (Yii). This is often the accurate and most concise response to inquiries from those new to Yii such as: Is it fast? Is it secure? Is it professional? Is it right for my next project? But the answer is an unequivocal, yes it is!.
Many waste time coding their project in Vanilla PHP (coding yourself mysqli_query have never been funny) while there are better classes they could use, coded by people who are much more professional than they are in the arena and hence let them concentrate with the problem at hand. The speed at which you will be developing will amaze you and so here comes Yii to rescue. As avid user of Yii, I have seen things improving. I don't have to write Queries Managing classes and deal with SQL injection issues: I can use DAO and ActiveRecord. Yii have whole library managing Login/Logout as well as Access Control. As If that does not fill the cup, Yii have widgets library which works very well with models, the Zii library. Configurations in Yii are PHP arrays (no new language to learn) plus tools like Yiic and Gii to help in code generation, migrations and scaffolding. There is every reason to choose Yii for your development than not to!
A book Comes to you!
Well there are few books there in Yii site to help you learn and one of them is the famous Yii Application Development Cookbook. The book contains 13 independent chapters full of recipes that will show you how to use Yii efficiently. You will learn about the hidden framework gems, using core features, creating your own reusable code base, using test-driven development, and many more topics that will bring your knowledge to a whole new level! In short is hands-on-code book that would teach you Ninja secrets of Yii. The best of all Its is a book by one of Yii development team (Alexander Makarov), so the man knows what he says!
PactPub, the publishers of the book, have honored me with a chance to be one of their reviewers. I will post the review of the book once am done in few coming weeks. Well after few emails, their marketing team agreed to offer all People of JamiiForums and Hosanna Highertech forums a discount of 30% off for e-books. I'm not sure if any will be interested here in hard copy but hey, Paypal account with money is all you need. Lest you think I do have big deal with these people, I don't. They don't pay me any amount of money and its all for the Good of developers here.
The means of discount are still being discussed (remember its for the two forum members and so there should be some means). We have not reached agreement yet as to the best way but in Monday I will update you with information on how you can get hold of your discount. (No Longer valid, check at bottom on how to get discount)
When you finish reading this book, you will have added great armour in your development arsenal. Any question that I can address I will do. If I can't I will forward to them for answers. This might be the beginning to getting other books they publish but I cannot promise anything for now!
