Rapid Web Application Development

using Yii 2.0 Framework

Speaker: Ipan Ardian (//ipanardian.com)


What is Yii?

Yii is a high-performance modern PHP framework best for developing both


web applications and APIs.

Yii helps Web developers build complex applications and deliver them on-
time.

Yii is pronounced as Yee or [ji:], and is an acronym for "Yes It Is!" This is often
the accurate, and most concise response to inquires from those new to Yii:
Is it fast? ... Is it secure? ... Is it professional? ... Is it right for my next
project? ... Yes, it is!
History

Yii is the brainchild of its founder, Qiang Xue, who started the Yii project on
January 1, 2008. Qiang previously developed and maintained the Prado
framework. The years of experience gained and developer feedback
gathered from that project solidified the need for an extremely fast, secure
and professional framework that is tailor-made to meet the expectations of
Web 2.0 application development. On December 3, 2008, after nearly one
year's development, Yii 1.0 was formally released to the public.

On October 2014 Yii 2.0.0 was released which is a complete rewrite over
the previous version that was made in order to build a state-of-the-art PHP
framework by keeping the original simplicity and extensibility of Yii while
adopting the latest technologies and features to make it even better.
