A book about Extbase and Fluid

Writing a book is a huge project. I never believed those people saying “Just double the time of your first estimate”. Now, after the book is finally available I would say they are wrong. You have to increase it threefold.

The book about Extbase and Fluid was written in close collaboration with Sebastian Kurfürst (core developer of Fluid) and Inken Kiupel (reader). We hope that it encourages the developers of TYPO3 extensions to get in touch with the fascinating concepts of FLOW3. And we hope that the book eases the migration to TYPO3 v5 (that’s what Extbase is all about).

We are aware of the fact that many of the English speaking TYPO3 developers are eagerly waiting for more Books about Extbase and Fluid published in English. Sebastian Kurfürst and I are currently investigating the best way to to get the book translated into English to be published on typo3.org.

If you have any questions regarding the book, or found some typos (at least 3), feel free to use the comments facility (if it is positive ;-) ) or write me an e-mail. I am really looking forward to hear from you.

    Hello, just a question, why don’t you do like the certification book ? A german print version and an e-book only for english and eventually others languages ? Extbase/Fluid and Flow3 revolution the way to write extensions and this is a step forward to profesionnal development and compatiility with version 5. English version is a must have for the international community !

    Hi Jochen, I just read your book about Extbase & Fluid – and liked it very much! Therefore I wrote a review about it on my employer’s blog (http://blog.tudock.de/startseite/beitrag/2010/08/09/buch-rezension-zukunftssichere-typo3-extensions-mit-extbase-fluid-von-jochen-rau-und-sebastian.html). Perhaps you wanna take a look?
