A future class is being planned: Drupal Basics II - We will use Panels, Views, and CCK to create a Photo site. Views is a powerful query builder that can build the query you need to display what you want. It is designed to simplify the task of building custom displays with information from the database. Panels divides any pages you choose into incredibly configurable layouts ready to drop in bits of content. It supplies a group of standard layouts that you can choose from or you can customize your own. The Content Construction Kit is commonly known as CCK. It allows you to create your own Drupal content types with custom fields in your web browser, going beyond simple stories, pages, and blogs. It lets you add new fields chosen from a variety of field types, such as text, numbers, dates, etc. There are also dozens of CCK add-ons for things like images, zip codes, dates, and media, which allow you to easily drop in new field types to your content types, handling all formatting and validation.

This is going to be a really fun class. I hope to have it ready by the end of this year
