hello…
as you see, I am a yii newbie…
could be worse, I don’t have any php or any other languages programming background… 
you can imagine how hard for me to understand a single line of yii’s code… yet I have to, just for not to lose my appetite…
any other non-programmers here?
might be little bit hard,
but nothing wrong with try.
before to start yii its good to make crud ( create, edit, delete ) functionality project with core ( simple ) php code.
Thanks Kiran…
I have done gii and other basic stuff… Definitely fun to try…
Now, I’m on the hardest part for all non-programmers… to customize and everything else to make it a real functioning application…
Definitely worth to try… 
Hi! Yii newbie too, also a non_programmer! First time with framework too!
