[TYPO3-mvc] Backend category tree and extbase

[Dmitri Pisarev]

Hey!
I want to bring up this subject, which is 1,5 years old. I again need to 
create a BE module, with categories menu in the nav part, and a list 
module displaying relevant articles.
I have read this http://wiki.typo3.org/Pagetree and this 
http://wiki.typo3.org/TYPO3Viewport#Navigation_Components, but as I need 
to do it quite quickly, may be someone can give an advice with what to 
get started. Maybe some sample BE extbase modules that use the new tree 
component.
I will definitly post back here with the results, if I'll be able to 
manage it myself.

Thanks!
Dmitri.
