In this starting chapter, Karen is going to set up some basic things we'll need to start building calendars. We'll enable the modules we need, including Date and Views, and take care of some core configuration for our dates. Then we'll use Date Tools (which comes packaged with the Date module) to quickly create an Event content type with a date field, and use Devel to generate a bunch of dummy content so we can see how things are shaping up as we start building. If you would like to see more detail about creating Date fields you can review the Dates with Drupal 7 series.
