The Views module is currently one of the most powerful and widely used modules outside of Drupal Core. It's a "must have" module for any Drupal developer. Simply put, the Views module provides a friendly interface allowing developers to query the content of their site, and return themeable results. Allowing developers to display things like news/events listings, lists of users, image galleries, etc. ... the possibilities are endless.

Editor's Notes
- - How many are familiar with “Views”? - How many of you would consider yourselves “advanced” or “Views Experts”? - What have you used views for? - How about ImageCache - how many have used it? - A basic overview of the views system also how to theme a view and the elements within the view - A quick look at ImageCache and the magic that it produces
- - I got into web development in 1999 - straight out of college. I started the “web unit” at an advertising agency. - After 5 years, I left the agency, and started working free-lance doing more web development. I have done it all -
- - You can query things like, users, comments, or nodes (any content type) - It’s a GUI interface that creates an SQL query in the background
- This is ideal for clients or users who are not familiar with products like photoshop and like to upload giant terrible images.
- - It’s the latest basic Drupal 6 installation - also threw in an existing theme (Singular based on tao). - The new content type holds the information for our photos that we’ll upload... well simply add the ability to upload an image and put in a caption. - we will create multiple imageCache presets - each preset will allow us to do different things with the images that we upload.
- - These are a few of the other modules that I have installed in order to get everything running properly
