[Typo3] Hi all - just a quick one for a T3 newbie :-)

[Joshua Preston]

Martin,

Welcome!

You'll find TYPO3 to be more than you originally thought I'm sure.  
However, it is NOT easy to learn, nor it learning it fast.  You must be 
patient and very open to design changes.  Most of the design changes 
I've made were actually for the better as TYPO3 incorporates just about 
everything you could want or need.

To answer your questions, yes, you can still include your own javascript 
and PHP functions.  I have found that most of the time it is a waste of 
time simply because most of the ones included in TYPO3 are complete, 
versatile and efficient.  I use a lot of my own PHP functions I wrote a 
while back, but their purpose is to access a MSSQL database for custom 
tables (pre-existing).

I recommend reading all of the documentation five or six times ;-)

Anyhow, good luck!

Joshua Preston.
