How to quickly learn Yii 2?

Question

Yii

Good evening!
I want to immediately ask that there be no trolling, jokes and other similar heresy.
To this day, I have never used any templating engines, but lately I have heard a lot about the Yii framework, they say you can make websites very quickly with it, very convenient and fast, etc. It got me interested. I learned that the MVC pattern is used there, which made me even more happy. I just wanted to fully understand MVC more. Considering that I have study and work at the same time, I would like to understand this framework as soon as possible. Can you please advise any video tutorials (for example, write a site from scratch in yii), or "step by step" Russian full documentation with examples (after all, visual perception is better)? For now, I just settled on installing it. I did not connect the base, etc. The material is needed specifically for yii 2, since I found a lot about 1. Please, we need your advice and help.

Answer 1

Tip #1 - Video tutorials won't teach you anything.
Tip #2 - The official documentation contains everything you need to get started.

Answer 2

Anton ! If you watched video tutorials, read official documentation and it seemed to you that this is not enough, then I suspect that most likely you simply do not know how to properly implement your task , so to speak, a certain technology or approach to implementation.
I recommend trying this article: Getting Started with Yii 2 by Creating a Simple Blog If something is not clear in it, then go to the documentation and read what it is.
Learn English, a lot of useful information is written by foreign colleagues. Not to mention what the creators of the framework write themselves) Knowing English, it will be easy to use the original full documentation. Although the yii documentation in Russian is quite well translated.
Learning is also hard, it just won't work, you have to do it yourself :) Through thousands of mistakes and failures, invaluable experience and understanding appear. Good luck.

Answer 3

I will add to all commentators. To learn something, set a goal for yourself to do something. Come up with a simple project (blog, guest book, Q&A service...) and plan its architecture in advance. So it will be clearer what to do step by step. Having made a simple functionality, try to expand it. In general, you need to practice on a specific project, and not on other people's lessons. And already on specific problems to ask for help.

Answer 4

If you're starting from scratch, it might be worth watching a couple of video tutorials to get you started. Youtube is full of this stuff. But it will be meaningful to use the framework only after understanding the documentation and practice, without this there is no way :)
