Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

This Learning Path bs with installing Yii 2 framework, learning about application templates, dependency injection container, and model events. Then, you’ll learn to use your external code along with updating your existing Yii 1 applications to Yii 2. Also, you’ll be familiar with some main methods for working with databases in Yii 2, such as Active Record, Query Builder, and direct SQL queries through DAO. Next, you’ll learn to write RESTful Web Services using Yii 2. Further, you’ll learn to deploy and test your applications securely with introduction to some best technologies, such as Codeception, PHPUnit, Atoum, and Behat. As the Learning Path progresses, you’ll be introduced to Git and its most used commands to work smoothly in a distributed team. You’ll also learn to develop customized and reliable web applications along with making these applications responsive using Twitter Bootstrap framework. Finally, you’ll learn to secure your applications by encrypting and decrypting data using Yii 2 components.

By the end of this Learning Path, you will have a deep understanding of the new and advanced features and concepts introduced in Yii 2 framework and application development practices using it.
