October 23, 2008; 01:18 AM

TYPO3 Extension Development is a new book from Packt that teaches users all about extension categories and the file structure for extensions. Written by TYPO3 core developer Dmitry Dulepov, this book will walk users through the complete extension development process from planning and generating an extension through development to writing documentation.

TYPO3 is a free and open source Content Management System (CMS) written in PHP. It is large, feature-rich and very flexible - a lot of this flexibility comes through extensions written by the community. Extensions make it possible to use TYPO3 to drive any type of website, including e-commerce, blogs, social networks, catalogs, and many more.

TYPO3 can be completely customized using extensions; however, creating an extension can be a challenging task. This book will help make the creation of an extension easier. Through this book, developers will be taught to master the TYPO3 API and will be provided with recommendations on when and how to use this extensive API.

Developers will learn about front-end and back-end development. They will learn to program, create, configure, localize and generate front-end plugins. Users will also learn to plan and manage the database of back-end modules, and implement and connect it with front-end plugins.

PHP developers wanting to develop a TYPO3 extension will find this book useful. This book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit http://www.packtpub.com/typo3-extension-development/book
