Abstract:

TYPO3 from Newbie to Guru
 
This talk will layout a strategy for becoming capable in TYPO3 development. I believe that those new to TYPO3 and even many that have used it for some time still feel the system is a mystery and they are simply stumbling around when try to modify it. Here are some of the things the talk will address.
 
Why TYPO3 development can seem intimidating
Why learning TYPO3 is worth it
A TYPO3 learning path
Where to find resources
Where to find help
What general web skills and TYPO3 specific skills you will need
What skills are essential and which are merely helpful
How to understand TypoScript
90% of all the TypoScript you will ever need
Dealing with Templating
Configuring an extension
How to explain TYPO3 to others
 
While preparing the talk I plan to assemble supporting materials and place them online.
