Yii MVC
Yii implements the model-view-controller (MVC) design pattern, which is widely adopted in Web programming. MVC aims to separate business logic from user interface considerations, so that developers can more easily change each part without affecting the other. In MVC, the model represents the information (the data) and the business rules; the view contains elements of the user interface such as text, form inputs; and the controller manages the communication between the model and the view. Besides implementing MVC, Yii also introduces a front-controller, called Application , which encapsulates the execution context for the processing of a request. Application collects some information about a user request and then dispatches it to an appropriate controller for further handling.Yii Data Modeling

Yii favors conventions over configurations. Follow the conventions and one can create sophisticated Yii applications without writing and managing complex configurations. Of course, Yii can still be customized in nearly every aspect with configurations when needed.

Application
The application object encapsulates the execution context within which a request is processed. Its main task is to collect some basic information about the request, and dispatch it to an appropriate controller for further processing. It also serves as the central place for keeping application-level configuration settings.
