My brief review of the TYPO3 Developer Days 2024
Have the article read aloud.
From August 1 to 3, 2024 I was again at the TYPO3 Developer Days in Karlsruhe.
I had the pleasure of leading a workshop the day before. The focus was on the new techniques and methods that await us TYPO3 integrators in version 13. The new site sets feature and the PAGEVIEW cObject were particularly exciting. Of course, we also took a look at the latest developments in content blocks.
A huge thank you goes to Eric Harrer, who supported me during the workshop and helped the participants with problems on their computers.
I'm not going to list every single session I attended. You can find the full session schedule and details of the sessions and speakers here.
But I will at least briefly mention the three sessions that I enjoyed the most.
Settings and Configuration Management by Benjamin Franzke
For me, site sets are one of the real killer features of the upcoming version 13. Benjamin showed the current status, explained what exactly site sets are and also gave an outlook on what is still planned.
Our quest for ACL improvements in TYPO3 Core by Tomasz Woldański
Creating backend user groups and users has always been quite time-consuming. A lot will change in the upcoming version 13. And a lot is also planned for the future, some of which will come in version 13 or at the latest with version 14 (keyword: Deployable User Configurations).
Navigating uncharted waters: Quick TYPO3 adoption in a new market by Fjora Hodo
How much can happen in 4 years in a small country where TYPO3 is still completely unknown?
Answer: A lot!
Fjora and her colleague Nadja Neb from the Albanian agency Contenance shared their journey from "What the heck is TYPO3?" to an active developer community and their active participation in the TYPO3 community in this entertaining talk. Very cool!
There were of course many more interesting talks, but that would go beyond the scope here. Under the link https://notes.typo3.org/t3dd24 you will find notes and further links to many sessions, also in the Slack channel of the DevDays at https://typo3.slack.com/archives/C041L87FE you can find some information.
By the way, the next TYPO3 Developer Days will take place again in Karlsruhe from August 7 to 9, 2025. It's best to block this date in your calendar right away.

Hi, I'm Wolfgang.
I have been working with TYPO3 since 2006. Not in theory, but in real projects with real deadlines. I've probably had the problems you're having three times already.
At some point, I started putting my knowledge into video courses. Not because I like being in front of the camera, but because I kept hearing the same questions over and over again. There are now hundreds of videos. Every single one was the result of a specific question from a specific project.
What makes me different from a YouTube tutorial: I not only know the solution, but also the context. Why something works. When it doesn't work. And which mistakes you can avoid because I've already made them.
As a member of the TYPO3 Education Committee, I make sure that the certification exams are kept up to date. What is tested there flows directly into my courses.
