Are you wondering why you might use the Views module? If you should use the Views module? Wondering how “Filters” and “Sorting” and “Fields” can be used to easily create the sophisticated content presentation you seek?
This session proposal is targeted for beginners and intermediate users who are still figuring out how to understand the basics of views. We will stick to the views UI, delve into basic strategies for using views, and explore how the simple, non-code based tools within views can be used to create sophisticated results.
This is intended for individuals who are just getting started with Drupal, and realize that they need Views to take their sites to the next level but aren't comfortable with the UI. Those attending this session are likely to be individuals who have watched a video or two, perhaps have read Using Drupal's Views chapter, perhaps not, and still have a lot of questions.

This was a big help in beginning to understand views. You mentioned at the start you would post the 2-hour version. Where can we get that? Thanks again. Great session.

I have seen Rain in action and she does a great job at helping people understand and use Views to be efficient Drupal site builders.

Rain, just wanted to say thank you for presenting this material today. It was very helpful, and I'm sure I'm going to find it useful in D7.
