CCK for Beginners

New to Drupal, Site building

Drupal by default comes with a couple of Content Types which allow you to add fairly simple and generic "static" type pages. The CCK module allows you to define a range of unique content types with their own fields. For example an Event would have a Date and Location field. This session will also cover the Contemplate module, which allows you to easily define a template file for each each node that is rendered according to its content type.
The views for beginners session will expand on this session as it will show you how to render lists of content from your site based on CCK input.
