Links TYPO3

Question

I have been working recently on many TYPO3 projects and I would like to have a good tutorial / link to work with. I am looking for something like Agile Web Development with Rails, but for TYPO3, if you want. The TYPO3 documentation is good, but not unbelievable, so I was wondering if there is a better option there.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there are no TYPO3 books available; the only publisher I know about who put any effort into it is Packt, which has several:

• Website development with TYPO3
• TYPO3: Corporate Content Management
• Mastering TypoScript

Amazon

• TYPO3 Extbase: Advanced Extension Design for CMS TYPO3 with Extbase and Fluid

I do not own them, so, unfortunately, I can not attest to their quality. But since they are the only game in the city, I believe that it doesn’t really matter: -D

Generally speaking, the best resource for learning TYPO3 outside the documentation is probably the TYPO3 mailing lists ; I often find answers to questions simply by browsing the archives. TYPO3-English is intended for English-speaking users; TYPO3-dev is intended for extension developers and those who want to hack TYPO3 itself.

Answer 2

I would also recommend Patrick Lobacher's "Certified TYPO3 Integrator" (English edition, e-book version).

There are many examples with detailed explanations, and this book will help a lot if you would like to pass the TYPO3 certification.

Answer 3

Agree with jalefkowit - Packt books are a great recommendation. I regularly use my copy of Typo3 Enterprise Contente Management. The mailing list is really staggering in terms of what's out there. You can find answers to most difficulties somewhere out there.

The key thing I found is the time to get to know the api well. A good technique is to look for an extension that does something similar to what you want, and then push it apart to find which api calls it makes. You can then use the api browser to find out how it relates to other objects - see Api. typo3.org

T3 typo3.org/documentation/t3n-magazine/ working through many great podcasts typo3.org/podcasts/kasper is also very useful from the point of view of the general strategy in the blog. Dimitry Deulpov's blog has brilliant ideas dmitry-dulepov.com/category /typo3.html

Good luck - sorry for the weird links - only 1 link allowed as newbies

Answer 4

At https://www.youtube.com/user/typo3/videos Every Friday a new video is published, so the channel is worth subscribing. On the same channel you will also find recordings at TYPO3 conferences, where they will delve into specific topics.

Answer 5

Some of the answers here are quite outdated, so I would like to give a new answer.

For help in general

• Register and join the TYPO3 Slack Platform and ask in the # typo3-cms channel. You can also use # typo3 documentation to learn about documentation.

It's always good to ask Slack where to find help for your specific task, because it depends on what you plan to do and what level you are at. Are you, for example, a complete beginner of TYPO3, but a very good programmer? In this case, you need other information from someone who is already familiar with TYPO3, but who starts from scratch as a programmer.

In some cases, the official TYPO3 YouTube video is better for getting started. There is not a single guide or book for TYPO3 developers where you will find everything.

To develop extensions

Print

• Schams / Lobacher: "TYPO3 Extbase: Advanced Extension Design for CMS TYPO3 with Extbase & Fluid"

official documentation

• Site Package Tutorial : shows how to create the "Site package" extension. This is what you call a theme or template extension in other contexts.
• Develop TYPO3 Extensions with Extbase and Fluid
• TYPO3 Core API - for developers and people who want to understand TYPO3 under the hood. It is declared a link, but in fact it is well read and completely updated.

In general, for official documentation, go to https://docs.typo3.org/ and look at the "Links" and "Manuals and Tutorials" pages. Textbooks are best for getting started.

You must select the correct version of TYPO3 that you will use. By default, the "latest" version is loaded. "Last" is the latest development version; it may not be the last LTS. Click "Links" (usually in the lower left corner) and select a version.

Answer 6

In addition, I would like to recommend TyPO3 Extbase / Fluid Cheat Sheet . It was a great help to get an overview of all the most important classes, structures and widgets in Extbase and Fluid, as well as a quick reference. This is a bit dated, but still very useful.

I asked a similar question recently, unfortunately, he had only one reasonable answer, but he really brought me to this video

I think this is a good starting point if you keep a close eye on this :-)

Although the guy speaks German, he is pretty self-destructive
