Skip this paragraph if you are in hurry :-) ... 8 years ago I started these two tutorials for Yii 1:
- [https://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/250/yii-for-beginners](https://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/250/yii-for-beginners)
- [https://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/462/yii-for-beginners-2](https://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/462/yii-for-beginners-2)

... and today I am beginning with Yii 2 so I will also gather my snippets and publish them here. They are meant maily for me, but also for other beginners.  so we all can quickly setup the yii-basic-demo. 
 
 
I have some experiences with Yii 1, but I havent used Yii for almost 5 years so many things are new for me again. Plus I was suprised that the Yii 2 demo application does not contain some basic functionalities (like DB login, translations etc) which must be implemented in the most of web projects so I will focus on them. Plus I will talk about GitLab.

I work with Win10 + [XAMPP Server](https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html) so I will expect this configuration.
