Example tasks

You can create views to output practically any content entity that is stored in the system. For example, you can create the following lists using various display output for a farmers' market site:

• Vendors as a table
• Recipes in a grid
• The most recent content on the site as a bulleted list

Currently, Drupalize.Me offers tutorials on Views for Drupal 8 (in core) and Drupal 7 (as a contributed module). While there are some new features, the Views UI hasn't changed very much, so most tutorials on Views for Drupal 7 will still be relevant to Drupal 8.

For themers and site builders, one key difference in Drupal 8 is how theme information is accessed and how to override template files. See Overview: Theming Views for more information.

For module developers, our Coding for Views series of tutorials applies to Drupal 7. Views plugins in Drupal 8 use Drupal's plugin system. Learn what plugins are in our Drupal 8 Module Development Guide and see the External resources section below for resources about coding views plugins for a Drupal 8 project.
