Finally, we have completed the writing of the tutorial on the blog demo. Compared with the Definitive Guide, this tutorial focuses more on developing a complete Web application using Yii. It is thus more suitable as an beginner book to learn Yii. For more details, please check out the Yii blog tutorial. Note, some sections in this tutorial require the upcoming version 1.0.3. If you are using the SVN copy, you should be fine.
The Yii Cookbook is a collection of Yii tutorials, each addressing a specific development task. Everyone with a Yii forum account can participate in creating or editing tutorial pages in the cookbook. Write now to share your knowledge about Yii with other people.
We have optimized Yii for the upcoming 1.0.1 release. Compared with 1.0.0, the new version is improved by 10 to 80 percent in the maximum RPS. This further widens the performance gap between Yii and other frameworks! Please check out the performance comparison page, which was updated to include the latest versions of other frameworks.
Wei used his expertise on search and added site-wide searching capability to our website. It allows us to search for four types of information (forum, guide, class reference and extension) using a single unified interface! And the searching is done in just a glimpse of time.
We are proud to announce that the first stable release of Yii is now available!
The Definitive Guide to Yii is now available in PDF format. Thanks to Wei Zhuo for his nice PDF conversion script!
The extension repository system is now ready. You may share your Yii extensions with others using this system. Please let us know if you have suggestions or find any problems using this system. We hope the system can grow to a degree that it allows one to build up a Web application more quickly with the extensions.
