Views were used on more than 80% of all Drupal 7 sites; now they are part of the Drupal 8 core.

While most site builders and site owners are aware of views, they don't understand how to take full advantage of their power to create many amazing pages and blocks.

If they use views, they might build 10 different view displays with different filters, without knowing that a contextual filter would require only a single display. Using our sample company, we'll take its existing content and evolve an ever more complex and powerful website for that company, starting with adapting the administration the user sees and moving on to making complex pages of information for site visitors. While the book is written for Drupal 8, the similarities between Views in Drupal 7 and 8 make this a useful reference for Drupal 7 site builders also. Style and approach This is the only advanced resource that will show you how to create, customize, and manage views in the Drupal 8 development environment.

This has become more important since Drupal 8 has made views part of its core architecture.
