Learning Views For Drupal (Video)
Video Description
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.

Hi,
Thanks for the upload. However, I have failed to join the files properly using Split & Concat and AJoiner. The video will only play a few seconds before stopping. How can the files be rejoined properly?
Thanks

Or you can read FAQ for more extention.

I attempted to join the files using HJSplit with no luck. Same problem. The movie stops playing after a few seconds. Not sure what to do…

Are you sure you had downloaded all of files?
If you had downloaded please check size of file.

It turns out that the first file wasn’t downloaded properly. Video is working fine now. Thanks for the suggestion.

This video will teach you how to use views. However, I have several issues with it:
1. It’s not really intended for you to follow along as it’s not self-contained. It references other videos, which is fine, but they never tell you how to set up your site like theirs. It’s a subtle upsell.
2. Poor, half-asterisk editing. I commend them for having a script, but they have typos and stutter and easily should have done a retake. I can almost guarantee it’s like they wrote out a script and then read it word for word, and if they stuttered, made typos “with” instead of “within”, they said screw it, we’re not going to re-shoot it. It makes it look unprofessional. I kid you not, I think that I heard voices or a vehicle in the background as if they put those curtains behind them in a not so quiet place.
3. Which leads me to the third point: $75? Not for something that is more of a “watch me” video than a true tutorial. It is worse than the Lynda.com videos from a production standpoint but more in-depth than a typical Lynda video. Then again, the Lynda videos do not only talk about one module.
