[Typo3-doc] How to get started? Analyses of the steep learning curve

[Peter Kindström]

Hi JoH and Peter,

>>TYPO3 concepts" tutorial.

I think you missed one big point: TV is not complex to use
compared to TypoScript!

But I guess when you already know TypoScript (like you two?),
then TV is not as good as TS. And technically I guess TV is more
complex, but the user does not have to know that (and that´s the
point I guess).

Ooops, I guess my exitsing website does not work then? :-)
Of course you need MTB right now, because FTB rely on that. But
I have never read the GoLive Tutorial and just a minute ago my
website worked just great (as it have done the last year...).

So please, don´t assume everybody else must do things the way
you always have done! People are different and things change!

Hmmmm, have you ever tried to teach some beginners TV instead?
So you have something to compare with?
