Setup

You will need a Drupal site for this class. You can get a free Drupal 7 Sandbox site on Pantheon, which I will be using for this course. You might also peruse Tim Carter's Drupal Beginners Guide to learn how to Install Drupal for the first time.

Project

We will be building a "recommended reading" book database, which will consist of title, author, a description, and ISBN. This in turn will be used to generate three Views - an "unformatted list," (fields with no formal HTML structure), a table, and a 3-item-wide grid.

Student Challenge

Once you learn how to build the View, try building it, adding your own content, and for a stretch, try modifying it a bit. Post a link to your work + a screencap of your view on the project page.

Note on the books

The books featured in the video were randomly drawn from my bookshelf. I have not other relationship with the authors.
