Hi Ryan,
First of all (althought it is a bit late): a warm welcome! Did you get 
tt_products working in the meantime? If not, where are you stuck?

I don't know the german tutorial, but for using the new template, you 
have to do the following things:

1. Include the "Shop System Old Style (tt_products)" template in your 
"Include static (from extensions)" list.
2. Copy the css-based template from 
'typo3conf/ext/tt_products/template/products_css_en.html' to your 
'fileadmin/' folder (there are other ways, but I'd recommend this way to 
avoid any problems that may arise with future upgrades).
3. Include the new template by putting this line in your TS Setup:
<snip>
# Inlcude the tt_products template
# The location needs to point to your real location of this file of course
plugin.tt_products.templateFile = fileadmin/products_css_en.html
</snip>

Does it work now?

Cheers,
Ro
