[TYPO3-UG US] Outline of "Learning TYPO3" documentation

[Duffy, Chris]

Hi!

I am a newbie and I want both. I need to put up a few sites fast. But I
also want to learn typoscript. If there was a tutorial that walked me
through setting up a simple site using typoscript, I would love it. Then
the tutorial could explain what each part of it did and show how to
change parameters. Does such a thing exist?

 I need all the help I can get :-)
Chris

I had an impression that the tutorial in question was planned more as a
marketing tool rather than an in-depth study guide. Is this not the case
anymore? If we still plan to use it as a marketing tool I would say we
should emphasize ease of use and minimize the learning curve to get a
newbie's first site running.

I built a couple of my first templates quite successfully following the
MTB as a guide, way before I read any documentation on TypoScript, so I
disagree that TypoScript knowledge is an absolute must.
