This document is an introduction to using TypoScript. It tries to get your thoughts aligned with the way TypoScript works. A lot of small examples are used to help you grasp TypoScript little by little preparing you for bigger adventures.
A very important document is the TypoScript reference (TSref), which contains all details on TypoScript. The problem with the reference is that very few examples follow it. So therefore this is a more reader-friendly way to approach TypoScript.
Tutorials
There's a series of tutorials that are very good to follow also.
Content rendering
A separate PDF-document, content_rendering.pdf, with topic on content rendering is available.
Yes. If you are working in the layers above F1 in the Typo3 Overview. But it's certainly up to you how much you want to utilize it. If you find TypoScript very confusing, you'll do fine with a very few options and then render the content with your own PHP-scripts. You can also base your project on a standard template which is a fixed layout but extremely easy to configure for different options.
