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

[Elmar Hinz]

This is the first part:

Install CSS_styled.content (4 clicks) and insert just 3 lines of TS to the
TS-Setup of your rootpage.

page = PAGE
page.typeNum = 0
page.10 < styles.content.get

Something in between:

* Modern Template Building, Part 1 (tutorial)
* Modern Template Building, Part 2 (tutorial)

This are the second parts:

* Golive (it's said to be good, I didn't read it)
* TypoScript Syntax and In-depth Study (theory)
* TypoScript By Example (praxis)
* TSref (reference)
