Whenever you are working on something that involves programming, you are expected to have knowledge about writing programs. However, in order to write programs you not only need to have a good familiarity with coding, but also require maintaining great concentration so as to develop logic for your programs. But even concentration won’t pay you off, if you are unable to decode the structure of the code. In simple words, programming can be complex at times, and it might be hard for you to understand the logic.
Yii is an amazing PHP framework that comes with simple source code that is understandable to people having little programming knowledge. Moreover, for novel beginners willing to learn programming, Yii source code lends a great start to learn PHP in an easy manner.
Security
Yii is integrated with built-in authentication and authorization features, which are easy-to-use and can be modified easily. Thus, this framework ensures maximum security to your applications developed using this framework. Several authentication functionalities can be performed with the help of Yii such as:
