I have just got the first Yii Framework book named 'Agile Web Application Development with Yii' and I'm going to read it all to see how it can improve my development skills, and then I'll write a little review here about it.
There is a free chapter available if you want to take a look:
Or if you wish, get the whole book here:
And a little history..
Until about last year I have been developing my PHP projects without the support of a framework, then I have started to test some of them, Symfony, CodeIgniter, CakePHP and Yii, I have tried to get started with one of this frameworks and I don't subestimate any of them but I found it easier to start with Yii, and I liked it.
I have learned Yii from the online guide and from the blog tutorial, and ofcourse by applying it to a couple of projects during this year. I feel that I am missing some tricks that this framework has and I hope I'll find some in this book! :)

How is yii working out for you? We're using it to develop Zurmo, an open source CRM. Right now, we have 1000+ unit tests running across eight server configurations. Would be awesome to get your feedback if you want to check it out - www.zurmo.org
