## Yii3 Demo applications
 
 
Yii3 offers more demo applications, but their list is a bit confusing.
 
 
In the [Yii3 Guide](https://yiisoft.github.io/docs/guide/start/demo-apps.html) there now are mentioned 3 demos, plus there are other 3 templates. Yii team makes a difference between word Demo and Template. Templates are simpler:
 
- [Web App](https://github.com/yiisoft/app)
 
- [REST API](https://github.com/yiisoft/app-api)
 
- [Console](https://github.com/yiisoft/app-console)
 
 
This article is based on the `Web App template` as in the past the best `Demo Diary` was not known to me. I will use it for inspiration.
 
 
## Git

All my code is available in my GitHub repositories:
- [Yii3 WEB demo](https://github.com/rackycz/yii3web) (yii3web)

I will be using it as a boiler-plate for my future projects so it should be always up-to-date and working.
