A practical example of developing an application in Yii?

Question

Yii

I studied the basics of Yii development in this book - "Web Application Development with Yii and PHP" www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/27406867/, now the question arose of how to consolidate theoretical knowledge with practical skills. I would like to hear ideas for developing a small Yii application, something different from a banal blog, etc. - there are enough such examples on the net. I would also like to fit in a certain time frame - say, 2 weeks.
Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Answer 1

If there is no need to work with projects on the first Yii, I would teach the second one.
If you have the ability to study a subject on tasks that you invent for yourself, then this is excellent. In my case, I need a specific goal, the desire to get something out of it. Then the learning process goes faster.
If I offer you to make a website where girls post pictures of their cats, and I don't offer payment, will you learn Yii?)

Answer 2

About the first Yii. As far as I understand, a fairly large number of sites will still be supported on Yii1, even if we analyze the list of questions on this resource, there are many of them. Yes, and having studied the first, it will probably be easier to master the second?

Answer 3

Many Yii1 ideas are used in Yii2, just in a more modern PHP and OOP style.
The same models, rules, validators, widgets. It's just that Yii2 is now a modern, convenient and concise framework.
If you worked in the first, it is not difficult to switch to the second.
