In the interview we talk about why Jeff's company (Control Group Inc.) chose Yii over other PHP frameworks, how he got involved with the community. He tells us the challenges he had to face with the ever evolving technology (which could be helpful to any future book author). We talk about TrackStar, the application we are developing in the book, Test Driven Development (Design) and source control via SVN and GIT.

The Surprise

Packt Publishing gave us 3 eBooks to give away. The only thing you have to do is to send us an email: yiiradiio[at]mehesz.net, and tell us why you would like to have the book. And that's it ... if you win, we will let you know. To be fair, anybody can send us an email before the end of this month (Oct. 31)!

Welcome, and thank you very much for tuning in. This is our pilot episode, so please leave us some feedback on our forum, how we could improve the show itself or give us ideas ie. a Yii powered site, or an interesting plug-in, filter or component that you've heard of etc.

Yes, it is Yii -- a high-performance component-based PHP framework best for developing large-scale Web applications. Yii comes with a full stack of features, including MVC, DAO/ActiveRecord, I18N/L10N, caching, jQuery-based AJAX support, authentication and role-based access control, scaffolding, input validation, widgets, events, theming, Web services, and so on. Written in strict OOP, Yii is easy to use and is extremely flexible and extensible.
