Just created an account to reply to your statement because I came from desktop application development also. Yii initially has a learning curve and then, you're like, stoked you have Yii in your toolkit. It's a powerful ally. I've committed to it and now enjoy it but it took a while before the "aha" moment was there and it all clicked. Experiment, learn, and ask the community if you're lost. Pretty friendly community for the most part. Good luck
