TYPO3 v4 Video Tutorials for Editors
The new collection of TYPO3 video tutorials features a recent version of TYPO3 4.2 and consists of 21 consecutive videos, plus an introduction. The videos are supplemented by a quick reference and a TYPO3 test website, where you can easily put into practice what you see in the videos, try other functions, or simply test TYPO3.
Where TYPO3 offers different ways to do things, in most cases the videos will show only one of these - the one we consider the most efficient or easiest to learn.
