Drupal's built-in data presentation tools offer several ways for web designers to clearly and attractively package their data. In Drupal 6: Presentation of Data, Tom Geller explains how Drupal handles data so users can set up intelligent structures and implement them with Drupal's Content Construction Kit. Tom also shows how a data-driven web site can improve its interactivity by using geographic data to connect real-world addresses to maps. Exercise files accompany the course.

Software works on: Mac and Windows.
