[TYPO3] No tutorials?

In my opinion, this is the biggest let down for Typo3.

it is a very confising application to get used to, and uses some key
concepts which if you dont know, can really hamper your development

I put a course together for Typo3, and after three days of the course, the
people who learned from it, were able to develop Typo3 websites, it was
quite intensive, but taught the key concepts, which are key to learning

Unfortuantely, the course and materials i developed were privately funded.
It constsed if a set of web pages defining all you ned to know to get going,
followed with captivate movies of the back end, adding elements, pages, and
above all the different concepts of typo3, such as page types and their
specific purpose.

I wrote these in a very, newbie fashion, allowing anyone of any level to use
them,

The only problem is, is that the material was privately funded, and not
released into the public. I would be able to, and intend to do so, create
the material again, though it is an issue of funding
