Yii and PHP Frameworks
For a recent project of mine, I had to setup a fully functional web application as fast as possible (90 days). This meant that development had to be as automated and flexible as possible. For this solution, I chose a PHP framework called
Yii. Within 20 hours, I was able to read through several chapters of documentation, setup and install an instance of my web application in my Linux Ubuntu machine. Not only does Yii help with installation, but configuring mysql tables, database wrappers, front-end user interfaces was basically a snap!
