Agile Web Application Development with Yii 1.1 and PHP5

Book Description
This book is a step by step tutorial in developing a real-world application using the incremental and iterative approach to software development. You learn about software development by leaning on the nature of the Yii application development framework. You touch on each aspect of the software development lifecycle by a project task application from concept through production deployment.

After a brief, general introduction to the Yii framework and outlining the software development approach taken throughout the book, the chapters break down in the same way as software development iterations do in real-world projects. After the 1st iteration, you will have a working and tested application with a valid, tested connection to a database.

In the 2nd and 3rd iterations, we flesh out our main database entities and domain model and become familiar with Yii’s -relational- (ORM) layer, Active Record. We also learn how to lean on Yii’s auto-generation tools to automatically build our create/read/update/delete (CRUD) functionality against our newly created model. These iterations also focus on how Yii’s form validation and submission model works. By the end of the third iteration you will have a working application that allows you to mange projects and issues (tasks) within those projects. [Read more...]
