# What do you need to know
|
|
|
|
The Yii learning curve is not as steep as other PHP frameworks but still there are some things you should learn before starting with Yii.
|
|
|
|
## PHP
|
|
|
|
Yii is a PHP framework so make sure you [read and understand language reference](https://www.php.net/manual/en/langref.php).
|
|
When developing with Yii you will be writing code in an object-oriented fashion, so make sure you are familiar with [Classes and Objects](https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php) as well as [namespaces](https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php).
|
|
|
|
## Object oriented programming
|
|
|
|
Basic understanding of object-oriented programming is required. If you're not familiar with it, check one of the many
|
|
tutorials available such as [the one from tuts+](https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/object-oriented-php-for-beginners--net-12762).
|
|
|
|
Note that the more complicated your application is the more advanced OOP concepts you should learn in order to successfully
|
|
manage that complexity.
|
|
|
|
## Command line and composer
|
|
|
|
Yii extensively uses de-facto standard PHP package manager, [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) so make sure you read
|
|
and understand its [guide](https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md). If you are not familiar with using command line it is time to start trying. Once you
|
|
learn the basics you'll never want to work without it.
