Looking Ahead
|
|
|
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To this end, you have created a complete Yii application, and you have learned how to implement some commonly
|
|
|
|
|
needed features, such as getting data from users using an HTML form, fetching data from database and
|
|
|
|
|
displaying it in a paginated fashion. You have also learned how to use [Gii](tool-gii.md) to generate
|
|
|
|
|
code automatically, which turns programming into a task as simple as just filling out some forms. In this
|
|
|
|
|
section, we will summarize the resources about Yii that help you be more productive when using Yii.

* Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
- The Definitive Guide:
|
|
|
|
|
As the name indicates, the guide precisely defines how Yii should work and gives you a general guidance
|
|
|
|
|
about using Yii. It is the single most important Yii tutorial that you should read through
|
|
|
|
|
before writing any Yii code.
|
|
|
|
|
- The Class Reference:
|
|
|
|
|
This specifies the usage of every class provided by Yii. It should be mainly used when you are writing
|
|
|
|
|
code and want to understand the usage of a particular class, method, property.
|
|
|
|
|
- The Wiki Articles:
|
|
|
|
|
The wiki articles are written by Yii users based on their own experiences. Most of them are written
|
|
|
|
|
like cookbook recipes which show how to solve particular problems using Yii. While the quality of these
|
|
|
|
|
articles may be as good as the Definitive Guide, they are useful in that they cover broader topics
|
|
|
|
|
and can often provide to you ready-to-use solutions.

|
- Books
|
|
|
|
|
* [Extensions](http://www.yiiframework.com/extensions/):
|
|
|
|
|
Yii boasts a library of thousands of user-contributed extensions that can be easily plugged into your applications
|
|
|
|
|
and make your application development even faster and easier.
