Overview
YII Framework is a powerful, user-friendly, and high performing PHP framework to create a range of web applications. An open-source framework, Yii offers maximum reusability in an open-source format for a high-tech developmental ecosystem with excellent features. At TRICORE, we use the Yii technology to create modern and scalable applications for our clients.
