Yii Development Tutorials

Well, it's been a while since I have written any blogs. Development on Fireteams has stopped for the time being as well. Unfortunately I have just had too many things happening at once.  On the plus side, I just finished an e-commerce website for a client (check it out! Pieces of Eight Costumes). I used Yii to make this website for them, and I'll be posting some tutorials about how to use Yii to implement various parts of an e-commerce site! Here's a look at what to expect in the coming months (not necessarily in this order):
  • Me want website, but where to start? A basic guide for newbie Yii developers
  • So I heard you like E-commerce.. (How to start developing your e-commerce site using Yii)
  • Developing a basic cart with PayPal integration with Yii
  • Creating a complex AJAX form with Yii and JQuery
  • Yii + Google ==  — Good SEO practices for any website
  • How to deploy a Yii website on HostGator
  • My favorite Yii / JQuery plugins of 2012
There'll be additional tutorials as well, but I will most definitely be writing these articles in the months ahead. Hopefully developers still rather new to Yii will find these tutorials useful and get a good feel for how powerful the framework is. 

If you have any tutorial requests, or would like to share links to other great tutorials out there, let us know in the comments!
