Fluid - Next Generation Templating

Fluid is the next generation templating engine, that will be used in TYPO3 v5 (Phoenix). It was backported to TYPO3 v4 so everyone can enjoy the advantages of a full templating engine. But what are those advantages? First of all, it is easily possible with fluid to separate view logic from other parts of the application. With traditional templating you often see functions fetching data, then looping over it, putting everything in a classic subpart whilst doing the complete logic in the same step. Of course this is bad coding style and a good coder would separate it more, but you'll always have some functions that are doing "view stuff". Let's have a look at a small example:

The new TYPO3-chief Jürgen Egeling in an interview, "To move the project forward we need every TYPO3 enthusiast"

At the annual meeting of the TYPO3 Association Jürgen Egeling has taken over the chairmanship previously held by Kasper Skårhøj. Juergen Egeling is the CEO of a Karlsruhe-based TYPO3 Agency, that has supported the TYPO3 project for years now, including the organization of the annual TYPO3 conference T3CON. Jan Christe of <link www.t3n.de>t3n Magazine</link> asked the new chairman of the TYPO3 Association a few questions about his plans and the biggest challenges facing the TYPO3 project.
