New Video Class: Drupal Advanced Views

Views is one of the most important modules in Drupal 7.

Views allows you to build sophisticated database queries without touching any code.

Views enables a site builder to create landing pages, blocks, attachments and more to present their content in a wide variety of ways.

We already have a Beginner’s Guide to Views. In this week’s video class, “Advanced Views“, our newest Drupal trainer, Robert Ring, demonstrates a number of interesting ways to further enhance Views.
