Feel good about yourself while you get some free training. In this session you will get a sneek-peek at Drupal 7, learn how to conduct effective and efficient user testing and make a significant contribution to the Drupal User Experience design project which is at an urgent final stage.
This session is useful if you want to learn about the Listening Labs method of user testing, and apply it to your own web development. It is also useful if you would like to see Drupal 7, and learn a bit about how to contribute to Drupal.
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.
So you can create a simple website with some static pages which need to individually maintained. What if you wanted to be able to create pages in a dynamic manner such as a News page which lists all latest news automatically, what if you also wanted to create a block on your home page which shows a teaser of the latest 5 news items.
This session will show you how to create different Views and how to implement them in various places throughout your website. It is recommended you also attend CCK for beginners if you are new to drupal prior to this session as CCK and Views are what opens the door for any type of site you could want to develop in drupal and compliment each other very well.
No drupal experience necessary, although examples using drupal may be given. A cursory look at managing the content of your sites, including the planning processes and harnessing technology to make things easier for you.
