Summary

This chapter served as an introduction to the very building blocks of Drupal's node structure. Beginning from the very start, we have introduced Drupal's software stack, and tracked its origin back as an early open source project. We then continued to learn about Drupal's very basic and prominent node structure, which evolved in Drupal 7 and extended into powerful and abstract entities. Having created our own Memo content type, we have made acquaintances with Drupal's administrator user interface, which enables the site builders to build their custom content types, manage their fields as well as their display too.

In the next chapter, we will take a look at another aspect of Drupal's basic functionality, dealing with views, and the over-all presentation layer.
