Screencast: Creating a Library Database Page with Drupal

-- Link to Full Version (800x600) here... --

In anticipation of my talk 'Drupal in Libraries' that I'll be giving to the Metropolitan Library System on Fri., 2/29 (1:30p-4:30p), I'm releasing the screencast "Creating a Library Database Page with Drupal".

The talk will be about Drupal in the context of Open Source Software and Content Management Systems as well of course as its application in a library environment. (more info and rsvp...)

The screencast goes over the points I'll be making in the second part of my talk.

Have a look and tell me what you think.

UPDATE: The slides and audio from my presentation are now available. You can access them by going here...

Leo, I would like to point out that you are pronouncing Drupal wrong. You can go to http://drupal.org/node/130207 to check what I am saying. It is not drew-paul, it is drew-pull or droople. Sorry, I just find it REALLY annoying when someone pronounces words and names wrong.

Guilty as charged. In my defense, although I had been working on Drupple since the end of 2004, I had never met another human being face-to-face who actually pronounced the thing 'Drupple' and so the German in me -- or maybe the French -- thought to stress the final syllable.

The good news is, I plan on updating the video for D7 and part of the motivation is to remove this stain from my reputation.

This is a very helpful video for thinking about taxonomy and views, even for Views2, gets you going in the right direction. I did not mind the pronunciation at all, actually I found it quite refreshing!

Thanks Leo!

You're welcome. As I said before, I really have to reserve some quality time to update that thing.

Leo:
I have gone through several tutorials and videos online and believe me your "creating a library database page" video was the best show-by-example tutorial on cck, views and taxonomy even now in D6 era. Best!
