Thanks, I’m looking forward. I hope it’s understable. In next versions I’ll try to rewrite some parts. Now it’s main for me to show code examples and basic facts…

Nicely written.wish I came across this 8weeks ago. I have read it and still found it very useful.

Thank you for your compliments :)

Now I don’t have time to finish this paper, but I hope you will be able to read more soon…

I’m just started learning Yii and i’m in same condition with you before. Lost and confused. I don’t even know how to use my designed GUI on Yii. Downloading your PDF now and i hope i can get a hold on this framework using your tutorial.

Will inform you how’s the result :D…

Reading through the Definitive Guide seemed to be more than enough for me. I’m a person that likes to deploy the skeleton and start breaking and changing stuff to see how it works.

I generally only check documentation to find proper ways of implementing (to avoid reinventing the wheel) or if I am confused about an API.

The complete idiots guide to Yii was very useful, I also learned and installed

mysqlbench which seems a lot better than the phpmyadmin, thanks. :D

How to make that TheSimpliestYiiApplication work?

18

Nice effort

You can include condifuring gii, so that you don’t need to use command line to generate models, controllers.

it is just uncommenting the gii module in config/main.php

	'gii'=>array(


		'class'=>'system.gii.GiiModule',


		'password'=>'password',


	),

and then access the following URL

http://localhost/demo/index.php?r=gii

Don’t know if you’re still here, but this is fantastic it answered my ajax questions

Thank you :) I’m glad that I made something usefull :)

Hi,

Keep em going… just hope that you will publish/update with even more examples… I find Yii difficult to grasp due to a lot conventions and built in functionality. I understand that these kind of tools are necessary for real programming but they just not very helpful for learning.

I would like to see more tutorials similar to CodeIgnitor… which (for me ) is best for MVC learning but not so great for productivity, due to the lack of tools like gii.

Also, it would be nice to have step - by -step tutorials, without using gii in order to have better understanding what actually this tool does.

Thanks

I am back and preparing version 07 !! (see PDF in the first post)

… Will add a few clever things about models, scopes, "with" statement etc…

I will of course reflect everything you mentioned in your posts

Cool,

When can we expect to have a look at the 07 doc ? :)
