The collection of TYPO3 video tutorials features TYPO3 version 4.2. It consists of 21 consecutive videos, plus an introduction in version 4.2 as well as in the new long term support version 4.5. The series is accompanied by an additional video showing the differences between versions 4.2 and 4.5 so that the video tutorials can also be used to the full extent when working with newer TYPO3 versions. The focus is on editor knowledge. The videos are supplemented by a quick reference and a TYPO3 test web site, where you can easily put into practice what you see in the videos, or 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.
In order to show the user interface in the appropriate language, we offer you the TYPO3 v4 videos in English and German, as separate files. Instead of watching the videos online, you can download the whole series as a zip file, including the quick reference: TYPO3 videos (download is being provided by an external web site)
