I have following page where I place explanations and snippets which can be just copied and pasted. Like exporting to PDF or CSV so not everything must be studied… I hope this can also help beginners…
In the article there are also linked my previous articles about Yii1 and general Yii development. Could be also interesting. But a real manual is of course better when one is beginning.
