TYPO3 Phoenix features a revised version of TYPO3’s powerful object definition syntax. The main design goals were consistency, simplicity and extensibility. In this session you’ll learn about the new object-oriented approach, the improved syntax, how you get full control over the rendered output and if stdWrap and friends made it to the next version. The examples from this talk will help you to experiment with your own TypoScripts on your own TYPO3 Phoenix installation.
