The following are some notes from the presentation on advanced Views. I have linked to the module (with the content type and view) used for the demonstration.

We started by creating a simple view using the Views UI, then we loaded it into our code so that we can modify it. For this example, we outlined four steps for using Views in the code:

1. Load the view
   The view object is loaded and stored in a variable
2. Build the view
   The view query is built based on all the options that the object contains

At our last meeting, Stephen Colson announced the launch of Switchback a CMS-driven web development and design company. This is of significance to the Ann Arbor Drupal Users Group (A2Drupal) in two ways.

Check out this email I got from Packt Publishing. They asked that I review the new Drupal 5 Themes book. I agreed and asked if they would help us celebrate our groups one year birthday coming up in March with a few books as door prizes.

Our group is already members of the Apress User Group Program so I too got a letter from Apress.

"This week, I received a letter from Apress asking me to "remind your members of their exclusive Apress User Group Program discount of 25% off ALL Apress books!" I scanned the letter which you can view in the attached PDF file."

Here is a link to a 46% discount on "Pro Drupal Development"

A2Hosting has generously offered one free hosting account for our group and a 25% discount (coupon = a2drupal) for group members on all services.

The free account is a Small Biz shared host account. It seemed logical to me to load Drupal and tell the group about my experience.
