Hey! @Barry, Thanks for the info. To answer your Q: nope, never coded a CMS but have a rough (very rough) idea on how it works, I have been coding for years from C->Java->PHP > Top3 is a very big Hammer when you start from > scratch. Thats what i wanted to know... @Nick T, Thanks for the huge amount of info, my needs are basically for point two of what you wrote ( "2. Typo3 is also a software development platform." ) I can and do program with PHP although my skills with RegEx and OO still leaves a lot to be desired :o), but when i do hit a wall the expirts on this list like Jay and Chris (_just_ two names off the top of my head) usually point me in the right direction. Although I didnt mention it in my original post, I was very curious as to the skill needed to use the typo3 templating part, your post cleared that up too. Thanks again guys, -Ryan --- Barry <barry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Ryan A schrieb: > > > How hard was it for you to learn it? > It's like a new language... > > How useful has it been to you? > Very.
