I have found Recess framework here http://www.recessframework.org/.  I’d like to know how Yii is better than Recess?

Thanks!

I installed the last version of recess;

my impressions as a sigle user…

I am having same issues and:

-no have comunity for support

-no have documentation (very poor)

-no info about modules/extensions

the more interesant is the web interface for crud, but have many errors, need specific PK id name ''id'' mandatory for generate classes from existing db

(currently not working… jscripts errors)

web I am not realy ready! for one adventure to that project not in my current situation, as I have long time search for a Mature framework, and I found

YII

;)

Recess has web based interface for application setup. Why doesn't Yii implement the same thing?

One more thing  - Screencasts. Yii must have screencasts. Several frameworks have.

Thanks! Great help.

We have been working on a web-based interface for quite some time. It will be available in 1.1 release.

6

Wow! When it will be available? Just give me an estimate.

7

Not in the near future, since the system we are developing is quite powerful.  ;)

We already implemented the features that Recess web setup has offered.

Hopefully, it would be released a month before 1.1 formal release.

I'm working on a screencast as we speak, that will implement the blog from the tutorial. Qiang, i'm wondering if you're interested in putting it on the site, once it's finished.

That'll be wonderful! Sure I will put it on our site if you agree.

Qiang, I'm very motivated to write a book about the Yii.

This book will use the "Blog Tutorial" as a basis. Would be almost a translation to the pt-BR Portuguese language with a little increase in number of examples.

Besides your agreement (commitment/authorization) to this development and of course the Xiang's too, what more will I need to get?

I already have a book on Firebird SGDBR Borland's published. I am frequently asked (invited) by some publishers to write some more books. As I am studying the Yii and liked much of "Blog Tutorial", was showed to me a real motivation and opportunity for the venture.

What you think about ?

Sounds good to have a book for Yii :)

I am thinking the same idea. :) My idea follows;

  • What is Yii / Why Yii?

  • Hello World

  • Skeleton application generated by the code generator yiic (scaffolding)

  • Blog demo from skeleton app

  - Posting only (models=user, post)

  - Add Commenting (modelos=user, post, comment)

  - Add Tagging (models=user, post, comment, tag, posttag)

  - Misc work

  - Add simple widget (Link, RecentPost, PostDate)

  - Add complex widget (Calender)

  - Add jQuery (Highslide)

  • Offline meeting board
