Drupal 6 Forms API Screencast
This is a very introductory look at Forms API in Drupal 6.
The focus is on basic and practical application, and should allow the newest Drupal programmer to be able to go create his or her own form, in Drupal 6.
Attached is the code for your perusal--It's the same as what's demonstrated in the video, with a bunch of comments. (I would have attached a tarball, but it was not an acceptable file format)
The 30-minute screencast is hosted at blip.tv.
NOTE: In the video, I fail to use check_plain() when outputting some user-generated content...For the sake of you and your web site, don't forget this step. The attached code example is i believe doing it right
Corrections, Questions, Comments, and Smart Remarks are always welcome. :-)

Thanks for a great introduction.
I wish someone could update the Forms API Quickstart Guide too. I'm not sure how to do it since it's not a Wiki-page.
Thanks
Your screencast and code are very helpful.

Newbie Question
If I have already created my database fields in CCK. I have watched your tutorial & the API Forms tutorial, yet I still can not figure out how I indicate which textfield should update which database field?

You simply rock!!!!!
I've been going almost bald (from hair pulling) trying to understand the FAPI. This is by far the best introductory tutorial I have found and very very helpful.
Thanks for the great effort.
