First Steps to Developing Web Applications with Yii 2. We'll start by installing a basic Yii application template using Vagrant. Before we get started, you will have a fully functional web application ready to be configured. You will learn how to generate models, views and controllers, debug and test them with the Debug Toolbar and Codeception. Then you will learn how to modify this generated code to create a registration page, profile page and listing pages, and a search interface using ActiveQuery and TypeAhead. We will also use ACF and RBAC to improve the security of our site.

About the Author: Lynda.com

Lynda.com thumbnail

Lynda.com was a US online video tutorial platform founded by Lynda Weinman in 1995 — one of the original online learning sites, predating the modern course-platform market by more than a decade. After LinkedIn acquired Lynda.com in 2015, the catalog was migrated into LinkedIn Learning, but the original Lynda.com brand still anchors a large body of video tutorial material that circulates separately.

The CourseFlix listing carries five Lynda.com courses covering Adobe Lightroom CC, Sketch design fundamentals, Visual Studio Code for web developers, Yii 2 (PHP), and Houdini essential training. The breadth reflects Lynda.com's original catalog scope — design and creative software alongside developer-focused material.
