I highly recommend reading (or even rereading) the [Getting Started with jQuery](http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Getting_Started_with_jQuery) page from jQuery.com. These are some basics you need to know, since Yii uses jQuery as well. If you want to dive more into jQuery, I added some more links at the Extra's at the bottom.
5. **API pages**
The following is important to always remember: You always need to open the API pages on functions you're using. The descriptions of all functions of a language can be found here. The API's are your memory, since your brain's memory can't remember ALL functions of ALL programming languages. ;) For PHP, use the search box on the top right of [PHP.net](http://www.php.net/). For jQuery, you can search the [jQuery Docs](http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page). And here is [Yii's API](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/).

1. **The Guide 2.0!**
The [Definitive Guide 2.0](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-index.html) is very helpful! Just walk through all pages from top to the bottom.[...]
Have fun with Yiiing!
Kind regards,
