[TYPO3] how to actually work with typo3?

[Tyler Kraft]

... at the same time - i find TV to be the most restrictive, least 
flexible, and most annoying way of doing ;- )

The point is that there are usually many ways in T3 to achieve what you 
want and that it is hard work to learn, but worth it in the end.

No matter which route you take, probably it is worth exploring the other 
route as well - you'll get a more complete picture of what can be done 
that way.
