The Getting Started Tutorial is featured prominently on the TYPO3 documentation landing page and serves as a key resource for newcomers. It’s the first introduction to TYPO3 for integrators and developers, and serves as a useful tool for evaluators and decision-makers comparing TYPO3 to other CMSs.
Because it fills such an important role, it needs to cover a broad range of material to introduce TYPO3 effectively, while also including enough detail to be practical and actionable. Recognizing its importance, we’ve concentrated significant effort into improving it to ensure it meets these goals.
One of the biggest innovations is the introduction of a new section: TYPO3 Concepts. This section breaks down essential TYPO3 basics into clear, beginner-friendly explanations, making it easier than ever to understand the core ideas behind the platform. It spans topics from the frontend and backend to TypoScript, TSConfig, caching, the TCA, and more.
The First Project Setup chapter has been completely revised and is aimed specifically at beginners who have completed their first TYPO3 installation. We guide readers step-by-step through the next tasks from the first configurations to the creation of a site package.
A key focus of this chapter is the creation of a site package. We explain how to create a site package with the site package builder, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of this method. For those who want to understand the process from scratch, we link to the site-package tutorial, which offers detailed instructions.
The revised Extensions chapter offers a detailed overview of this critical topic, including:
We’ve added a glossary to provide quick and simple explanations of the most important TYPO3 terms and concepts. Frequently used technical terms are defined in short, easy-to-understand sections.
All the results of our work are now live and available. We encourage you to explore the updated Getting Started Tutorial and share it with newcomers who might benefit from these resources.
If you have feedback or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you — please reach out to the TYPO3 Documentation Team to help us continue to improve our support material.
