Fast track your Web application development by harnessing the power of PHP framework Yii Overview of Agile Web Application Development with Yii1.1 and PHP5 A step by step guide to creating applications, sophisticated modern web using incremental and iterative approach to software development Build the real world, user-based, database-driven project task management application using the development framework Yii Take a test-driven design (TDD) software development approach using the testing framework Yii Writing less code by using application generation Yii and scaffolding equipment Improve your application by adding Web feeds, to adapt to multiple languages, and by utilizing the theme to give the skin a beautiful and design flexibility In Detail This book is a tutorial step by step in developing a real-world applications using incremental and iterative approach to software development. You learn about agile software development with the leaning on the nature of agile application development framework Yii. You touched on every aspect of software development cycle by building a task management application project from concept through production deployment. After the introduction, briefly describe the general framework of Yii and software development approach taken throughout this book, the chapters that break down in the same way as software development iterations performed in the real world. We learn about the built-in authentication model in Yii to assist in the application and login logout function. We then jump to the authorization model, first use a simple control model Yii access, then apply role-based access control is more sophisticated (RBAC) framework that provides Yii. We took advantage of the structure with the theme of Yii to help streamline and design applications, and then introduce Yii internationalization (I18N) features so that applications can be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes. Learn Yii development framework by taking test-driven approach, incremental, and repeat to build a real world application management tasks What you will learn from this book Take the "first test" approach to software development using the testing framework Yii Auto-generate a web application framework and CRUD scaffolding for the domain object model using the built-in command-line interface Creating an application-based user authentication model Yii Improve your application-based user to control user access Write to the feature functions of the administrative console application to extend the features provided by a very useful tool command line Yii Integrating other frameworks and libraries to the application Yii to further expand the feature set Spend less time managing the configuration of the application by taking advantage of Yii and reasonable default convention. Learn how easy it is to implement multi-user applications using Yii authentication and role-based authorization model Update your code properly mange the last time a user login and store it in the database Achieving pre-and post-processing method using a filter controller demand action Tap into the workflow CActiveRecord validation to allow the pre-and post-validation of data in your model is to increase reuse, consistency, and ease of maintenance applications by developing a small block of content called portlets Make your application accessible to the world with internationalization (l18N) features and improving the appearance of your application using a model with a theme Yii Approach This is a step-by-step tutorial for developing web applications using Yii. This book follows the test-first approach, incremental, and iterative software development while developing the project management application task called "TrackStar".
