Not every reference is a website. In late 2012, elevator manufacturer Haushahn and the agency GKW-Kommunikationsdesign booked a two-day TYPO3 training for their integrators — the people who would be spinning up and maintaining sites in the months to come. The brief: get confident enough to work productively without consulting the docs after every click.
- Backend tour from the List module to page configuration
- TypoScript fundamentals, with hands-on exercises on each participant's own machine
- Content elements, multilingual setups, and how translation workflows actually behave
- Picking, installing and configuring extensions without painting yourself into a corner
- The editor's perspective — what separates a clean backend mask from a frustrating one
- Images, files and permissions, the topics that cause the most friction in real projects
- Deployment and caching basics so the next go-live stays calm
- Open Q&A focused on the actual projects the attendees had on their desks
The outcome: two teams that could afterwards run TYPO3 projects on their own — from initial install to handover to the editorial team. With rockit in the trainer's seat, two days of training translated into a working toolbox the participants kept reaching for in their day-to-day integration work.
