The Lullabot Learning Series continues with a hands-on look at Drupal’s Views module. In this tutorial video, Jeff Eaton, Nate Haug, and James Walker begin with a general overview of Views’ interface and capabilities. The team then builds a complex example showing more advanced Views features such as arguments, relationships, displays, access control, exporting, and theming a view. This video pairs well with Learning CCK, which begins the job board project used throughout each chapter.

Summary of Content Covered in Learning Views

You can also watch two free sample chapters from the Learning CCK and Learning Views videos.

Examples in this video use Views 2 for Drupal 6, however the most of the theory and knowledge is common to Views in all versions of Drupal.

"I just got done watching the Views and CCK videos and they are AMAZING!!!! If there are any Views or CCK concepts that you are struggling with (or just Drupal concepts in general!), these videos are a MUST-HAVE!!! I bought them a few months ago, but only watched them recently and man, am I bummed that I waited. ANYONE using Drupal (novice -> advanced) should watch these videos as they make ALOT of the concepts MUCH clearer. I still can't believe how well-done they are. They are hands-down the best drupal resource I've come across since starting in Drupal a little less than a year ago! If you are thinking about developing in Drupal, these vidz will pay for themselves the moment you are finished watching them! I cannot stress how satisfied I am with my purchase!!!!" – Jason H (via Get Satisfaction)
