[TYPO3-UG US] Modern Template Building, Part 1 (MTB/1)

[Alex Heizer]

Hello Chris,

I started with the GoLive tutorial, that might be a better place to 
start, at least just to review. It provides a lot of the concepts that 
the MTB manual is based on but doesn't explain. Once you review the 
GoLive tutorial, the TypoScript By Example manual does a better job of 
explaining how and where to use TypoScript and leading you through 
setting up a template than the MTB.

Hope this helps!
