Learn to develop websites with TYPO3 can be challenging, though TYPO3 Association has made great progress in reducing the time required to study the fundamentals, by improving access to documentation and improving the internal interface. For quick introduction to TYPO3, we recommend the following documents.

Getting Started

Guide «Quick start» is the official starting point for beginners TYPO3. This document will give you an understanding of how to make the most common backend tasks, including how to create and edit pages, content and user accounts. If you are just starting, this manual is for you.

Templates

Once you've learned the basics of the backend, you can go to the study of templates. In our experience, there are two popular approaches to setting the template. The first and older approach is using extension Template Auto-parser, which parses the HTML templates and adds TYPO3 content . To learn how this works, we suggest you to look at the document «Modern Template Building, Part 1». The second, more modern approach, is to use TYPO3 extensions TemplaVoila and CSS Styled Content. This combination can do almost everything on that this approach is capable of, and much more. To learn how to use the TemplaVoila, we recommend you to read the manual «Futuristic Template Building», the first part of which is devoted to templates. The second part of this document is aimed at creating "flexible content elements. If you are just starting, please read the part 1 first .

TypoScript

Because you are working with TYPO3, you must use a scripting language of this system, called TypoScript. TyposScript may seem a little confusing for beginners. We recommend that you start learning TypoScript with two documents concerning this issue. The first document - «TypoScript By Example» - provides working examples of how to use TypoScript. Second, an authoritative document describing almost everything that can be performed using TypoScript, is «TypoScript Reference». It is not too exciting reading, but eventually you will have some experience using this guide and using it will allow you to solve problems in TYPO3 much easier. Also you can improve your TypoScript skills using the document «TypoScript Syntax and In-depth Study».
