Scalability
The Views module is at the heart of any modern Drupal site. But are you really using it to its full extent?
In this session we will look at how Views is put together conceptually and how to leverage it to build particularly complex displays. Some experience with Views is recommended, but the goal is to turn casual Views button-pushers into Views site-building ninjas.
Have you ever wanted to show a pie-chart of most common terms in your system? How about designing a multi-part report like the "big boys" do with just couple of clicks?
This presentation will talk about designing professional reports in Drupal using Views. The modules showcased in the presentation are authored by the presenters.
