Where to learn Yii?

I've started here http://blog.dmcinsights.com/series/learning-the-yii-framework/

Then I did the online blog tutorial

A very good place to search/ask for info is the forum. The community is nice and will always answer you very fast.

Yes, the blog tutorial is filled with typos and errors of some sort. But IMHO, this is were you develop more skills. You have to actually search. Or if you're lazy, the comments after the tutorial tell you what to do. But usually, after the half of the tutorial, you'll begin to understand why it is not working and how to solve it. This is, from my point of view, the best way to learn.

Don't give up, Yii is very nice and powerful. Yii is the faster fully-loaded framework after symfony 2.

Also, don't forget the "Definitive Guide to Yii". I found that after I started developing my app (basing all of the code on the blog tutorial), most of the things I got stuck on were further explained in the Guide.

Also, don't forget to contribute your questions/suggestions to the community - it will only become more robust with more people banging away at it...

It's my thread and in the first post there is attached PDF. On Xmas 2009 I was beginning with Yii. I had never user PHP framework before so I was lost in terms like Controller, using views, integrated ajax etc.. So (when I understood it) I created a small manual that could help beginners. Have a look at it and let me know if it was helpful. It's not finished yet, it wants to reformulate something, but main concept of YII and MVC architecture is described..
