Review of Beginning Yii [Video]

Few months ago, I receive this video course Beginning Yii from the Packt Publishing team in exchange for a review on it.

Yii is a free, open-source Web application development framework written in PHP5 that promotes clean, DRY design and encourages rapid development. It works to streamline your application development and helps to ensure an extremely efficient, extensible, and maintainable end product.

I have been looking forward to learning the Yii framework for a long time, I couldn’t because the time wasn’t available couple with it steep learning curve.
Thanks to this video, I am now up to speed with the framework and have gotten over it fundamentals.

1. Understand the basics of OOP, MVCs, and how to install and set up Yii
2. Generate the Yii application from your database model
