And on which TYPO3 version should I start coding ?

Installing CVS version is a long process, because, it misses the ext/ 
folder. And right now I'm working on a special requirement. Reinstalling 
a TYPO3 CVS version is a time consuming process.

Is coding on 3.6.2 ok, or I will have to learn 3.7 source soon enough to 
start directly with the dev version ?

Currently I've found:

PHP code exploration about BE rendering. This information is related to 
TYPO3 3.6.2.

     * Columns Frame typo3/sysext/cms/layout/db_layout.php
     * Content edition 
typo3/alt_doc.php?returnUrl=URL_HERE&edit[tt_content][23,]=edit

In process, I'm searching for document about hook programming before. 
:-) Need to force the information in my brain. :-P (exhausted tongue)

I will. :-)
First, I create a hook codding sample and test my solution first.
Next I will follow a,b,c).
