Learning CCK for Drupal: Summary

The Lullabot Learning Series continues with a hands-on look at Drupal's Content Construction Kit (commonly known as CCK).

In this tutorial video, Jeff Eaton, Nate Haug, and James Walker show everything from CCK basics such as adding and displaying fields to more advanced topics such as CCK's database storage mechanisms, field-level permissions, and how to theme CCK's output. Each chapter of this video builds upon the last as the team builds and configures the content types for a university job board. This video pairs well with Learning Views, which continues this job board project through to completion.
